Tall Saint

Tall Saint
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name
Something for everyone, try to win prizes
Stay young and quiet

Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you
Bubbles to the chandelier
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint
Stay behind me
Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams
They're too amazing, it'll melt their minds
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts
Become millionaires
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you
Bubbles to the chandelier
I've been looking for you all night, Tall Saint
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint
In my city, I didn't make a sound
When I fell over and cracked my crown
Heard a woman say
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you
Bubbles to the chandelier
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint

In my city, I didn't make a sound
When I fell over and cracked my crown
Heard a woman say
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
But I got up, got in a car
Said "I don't think I'm gonna go very far"
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow
And take me home
