Teachers Beck (Ft. Andrew VanWyngarden, Ben Goldwasser, Binki Shapiro, Devendra Banhart & Will Berman)

I met a woman long ago
Her hair the black that black can go
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft, she answered no

I met a girl across the sea
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes‚ but not for thee

I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
"Follow me‚" the wise man said
But he walked behind

I walked into a hospital
Where no-one was sick and no-one was well
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all

Morning came and then came noon
Dinnertime‚ a scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon

Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break
