Keep Me In the Dark (feat. Eleanor Friedberger)

The Bazaar in Ouarzazate,

Had an emerald for sale. We heard

In the silver band were etched the initials

of you know who.His momma pawned the Gulfstream;

Returned the antiquities to Italy;

Said in no uncertain terms buy it back for

my youngest son.Please don't tell me nothing.

I'd rather tell me nothing,

Keep me in the dark,

With the opposite of anything.Went through my per diems

By the middle of the morning.

You won't mind me writing my own

receipts for boys or smokeContracted three merchant fevers;

Embellished two early evenings;

At an arcade in the afternoon looked back

and forth with you know who.Please, don't tell me nothing,

I'd rather tell me nothing:

Keep me in the dark.

With the opposite of anything.
