Yeasayer - Strange Reunions lyrics

Don't ask me for any favors And I won't ask how you do it Leave me alone now 'Cause after all now Dealing with you is a nuisance Ever since I was young I've been wondering this Why we walk on eggshells 'round the holy dimwitted And if, if your tongue slips You might have to take to task At all of our hallowed institutions Don't ask me for any favors And I won't ask how you do it Leave me alone now 'Cause after all now Dealing with you is a nuisance If you could laugh at yourself what difference would it make? You could ignore dang cartoonists And you wouldn't turn not to pray But if distance persists We'll preach to choirs Raising ire where neither side Will raise [the sign of grace] This feud is getting old No one is gonna be told to go along Most of our questions have easy answers Our only chance is let them be wrong Don't ask me for any favors And I won't ask how you do it Leave me alone now 'Cause after all now Dealing with you is a nuisance
