The National - Val Jester lyrics

Build a fire for Val Jester Build a room for your love Take your time when you tell her How she lives in your blood You should have looked after her better You should have looked after her more You should have locked the door Fill her coat with weapons And help her get it on 'Cause one day when she goes She's gone You should have held onto her better You should have held onto her more You should have locked the door All the most important people in New York are nineteen All the most important people in New York All the most important people in New York are nineteen All the most important people in New York
