  • Little faith, follow me
    I set a fire in a blackberry field
    Make us laugh, or nothing will
    I set a fire just to see what it kills

    Now I'm stuck in New York
    And the rain's coming down
    I don't feel like we'll go anywhere
    Stuck in New York
    And the rain's coming down
    Still in line for the Vanity Fair

    Leave our red Southern souls
    Head for the coast
    Leave our red Southern souls
    Everything goes

    All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
    We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
    All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
    We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

    Awesome prince, get your sleep
    Lose your heart in history
    Make us laugh or nothing will
    I set a fire just to see what it kills

    Don't be bitter, Anna
    I know how you think
    You're waiting for Radio City to sink
    You'll find commiseration in everyone's eyes
    The storm will suck the pretty girls into the sky

    All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
    We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
    All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
    We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

    Leave our red Southern souls
    Head for the coast
    Leave our red Southern souls
    Everything goes Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Matthew Donald Berninger
