The National – The Geese of Beverly Road Lyrics 14 years ago
No one commented on the most important line in this song.
"Our hands are covered in cake, but I swear we didn't have any"

This song screams of a failed relationship that never reached its potential. Ya, you had some fun, felt on top of the world.

But, Cake is typically viewed as the prize to a party or dinner; think of life as this party or dinner. You never achieved that goal. "Serve me tonight, the sky with a BIG slice of lemon" Pointless sex. Big being key; not relative to size but value.

Berringer has stated himself that most of their songs are sarcastic and they are the only ones who find them funny
