Cards and Quarters Lyrics
Cards and quarters
Means to ends
Surgeon General warns against
Safe in the knowledge
A short walk back
Punch-line I ruin
But we both laugh
Leaves steeping longer
Knowing glance
Make our appearance
Our minds have gone back home
Brave in her movements
Scared to dance alone
There's a cave made of sheets
And I, I know we want to be inside
Take off all of your clothes and climb
Into a cave of sheets tonight
Steal away
You and me
To a cave made of sheets
Means to ends
Surgeon General warns against
Safe in the knowledge
A short walk back
Punch-line I ruin
But we both laugh
Leaves steeping longer
Knowing glance
Make our appearance
Our minds have gone back home
Brave in her movements
Scared to dance alone
There's a cave made of sheets
And I, I know we want to be inside
Take off all of your clothes and climb
Into a cave of sheets tonight
Steal away
You and me
To a cave made of sheets

This song is excellent. They are drunk and as they walk back to the room, the awkwardness arises with both of them knowing what they want. Neither want to be alone, and they can find refuge with each other in the "cave made of sheets". Another wonderfully written song by Local Natives.
My favorite song on the record. So sexy!
so hot right now. full of such intense emotion
One of the best "love" songs of the past year or two (depending on when you consider the record came out). Not quite a love song, could just be lust, in the sense that it's cards and quarters, spending money on booze and/or cigarettes, that make their night possible.
You can just get lost in this song . . .

that song is stayed tuned 34 times in one time. i was writing a letter to an old lover of me. telling stuff. talking about everything. memories, the good and the bad. the pain and the joy we send to each others. she was from canada and we meet on the internet (i beginned the letter while cubism dreams played ;) )

all we want is someone to feel good with....
all we want is someone to feel good with. even if the world disappear. someone to be with. this song is truely about love. and even in the case i is "just" about love, this is love too. we're moving and meeting each other, we are a part of the same big thing, so we have to come closer. thats my vision of this song. if i'm totally wrong i sincerely dont care. because that song brought me a nice and confortable feeling of peace and serenity. thank you local natives.
that band makes me discover so many things, when i stayed here listening to them in my room. they mean so much to me since i discovered them after a show last autumn.
i'm happy to see such nice and cute and sometimes realy deep comment and feelings about the song under the lyrics.
i wish you the best, local native fans (or anyone you are reading at this).
