The National - Turn Off The House (Lyric Video)

’Turn Off The House’ is taken from ’Laugh Track’ out now, via 4AD: Lyrics: Put everything in boxes Your head in a paper bag Leave all the windows open Leave the beds unmade Tell them that you’ve gone to see If you can find out what it means When your mind leaves your body Turn off the house Turn off the house Nothing you need to get back to No one you need to see Leave all the messages blue Don’t even look at the screen Full body gentle shutdown So many people to letdown Don’t even think about me Turn off the house Turn off the house You’re bailing out You’re free of it now Full body gentle shutdown So many people to letdown Don’t even think about me Turn off the house Turn off the house Turn off the house Turn off the house You’re bailing out You’re free of it now You’re bailing out You’re free of it now
