Guarding The Baby Lyrics

Dirty Projectors Guarding The Baby

[Verse 1]
What weight is this
Laid down on top of me?
What way is this
Labored by another name?
Oh, they don't care
The winter is on by the spring

[Chorus 1]
Please don't offer me a chair, man
Put the gloves away, it's bare hands
Choose along the way to wastelands
Me, alone guarding the baby

[Verse 2]
No way we'll win
Played like Monopoly
So obstinate
Late for apology
No great escape
Single teardrops from your face

[Chorus 2]
Please don't operate on stillness
Put those arms away, we're stalemate
Whose alarm we ring, not helping
You, no future for a baby
