Yeasayer – Gerson's Whistle lyrics

[Intro]
No Snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible at all

[Verse 1]
Gerson's always whistling
Hear him stomping up and down the hall
Oh-oh, oh, oh
His vitriol's a missile
And he wields his temper like a wrecking ball
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Bridge 1]
You know one of these days
I'll get out of this place
It's too damn loud

[Verse 2]
Watching Robert Mitchum films
The volume on 11 in his room
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Never sleeps
The Bennies keep him vibrating from midnight until noon
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Extended Bridge 1]
You know one of these days
I'll get out of this place
It's too damn loud
But you know what they say
The troublemakers made
The world go round

[Interlude]
Oh can you hear?
There is something there
In the darkness
Oh can you hear?
There is something there
In the darkness
Oh can you hear?
There is something there
In the darkness
Oh can you hear?
There is something there
In the darkness

[Verse 3]
Them voices bringing me down
I feel that I cracked my head open
You might feel safer now
How will you know when there's danger?

[Outro]
They yell out "okay, crazy!"
"The world must have made him insane"
They yell out "okay" and "crazy!"
"The world must have made him insane"
They yell out "okay, crazy!"
"The world must have made him insane"
Oh, oh
They yell out "okay, crazy!"
The world must have made him insane
They yell out "okay, crazy!"
The world must have made him insane
Oh, oh, oh, oh
