Tall Saint

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
