Tall Saint |
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears, |
Don’t ask questions, you don’t know your name, |
Something for everyone, try to win prizes, |
Stay young and quiet. |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’m in your hands tonight, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me. |
Don’t tell everybody at the table about your dreams, |
They’re too amazing, it’ll melt their minds, |
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts, |
Become millionaires. |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’ve been looking for you all night, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint. |
In my city, I didn’t make a sound, |
When I fell over and cracked my crown, |
Heard a woman say «stay down, |
Champion, stay down.» |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’m in your hands tonight, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint. |
In my city, I didn’t make a sound, |
When I fell over and cracked my crown, |
Heard a woman say «stay down, |
Champion, stay down.» |
But I got up, got in a car, |
Said «I don’t think I’m gonna go very far,» |
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow, |
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears, |
Don’t ask questions, you don’t know your name, |
Something for everyone, try to win prizes, |
Stay young and quiet. |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’m in your hands tonight, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me. |
Don’t tell everybody at the table about your dreams, |
They’re too amazing, it’ll melt their minds, |
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts, |
Become millionaires. |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’ve been looking for you all night, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint. |
In my city, I didn’t make a sound, |
When I fell over and cracked my crown, |
Heard a woman say «stay down, |
Champion, stay down.» |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’m in your hands tonight, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint. |
In my city, I didn’t make a sound, |
When I fell over and cracked my crown, |
Heard a woman say «stay down, |
Champion, stay down.» |
But I got up, got in a car, |
Said «I don’t think I’m gonna go very far,» |
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow, |
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears, |
Don’t ask questions, you don’t know your name, |
Something for everyone, try to win prizes, |
Stay young and quiet. |
Tall Saint, I’m devoted with a glass of champagne to you, |
Bubbles to the chandelier, |
I’m in your hands tonight, Tall Saint, |
Stay behind me. |
Don’t tell everybody at the table about your dreams, |
They’re too amazing, it’ll melt their minds, |
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts, |

But I got up, got in a car, |
Said «I don’t think I’m gonna go very far,» |
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow, |
And take me home |
