This song, [Beringer] explains, is set in the neighborhood of Brooklyn where he and Bryce Dessner lived during the recording of Alligator, a place called Ditmas Park.
“It’s a beautiful neighborhood that feels more like Savannah, Geo...
[Verse 1]
We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks
Like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car
And whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
[Chorus]
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
[Verse 2]
We won't be disappointed
We'll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
[Chorus]
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
[Bridge]
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
[Verse 3]
We're drunk and sparking, our legs are open
Our hands are covered in cake
But I swear we didn't have any
I swear we didn't have any
[Chorus]
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
[Bridge]
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
[Outro]
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon
[Bridge]
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
[Outro]
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

“It’s a beautiful neighborhood that feels more like Savannah, Georgia than Brooklyn,” he said. “The houses are all free-standing with nice yards and wrap-around porches. I was sitting outside one night watching a bunch of kids runni...
