Ice Machines The National

[Verse 1]
Cartoons from a television
Whistles from the street
Blackout curtains, summer sirens
Electricity

[Refrain]
I don't need ice machines, I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness, I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything

[Verse 2]
Finally start to make connections
When everything goes dark
It's pulling me in all directions
It's tearing you apart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need ice machines, I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness, I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything
But I do

[Chorus]
What am I doing watching clocks?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls
