Falsetto - Chris Thile

February swings my timeline

From worry to despair

It’s only been two weeks and there’s a lifetime

Of friendships to repair between America and everybody else

'Cause Froggy went a courtin' and he thinks it went well

Says «Buddy, if you say it didn’t, you can go to --

With your movies and your marches

Your speeches and your silly songs

And your girly falsetto

Girly falsetto falling from the highest heights

And the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics…»

I try to look away from my timeline

But I see it everywhere

Another diatribe

In 140 characters to stare at wondering when he’s gonna crack

'Cause Froggy thinks his whistle is the Liberty Bell

Says «Buddy, if you say it isn’t, you can go to --

With your viva la resistance, your facts, and your stupid songs

And your girly falsetto

Girly falsetto falling from the highest heights

And the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics 'cause

Everything is going great you should be super psyched

Don’t tell it like it is

Don’t tell it like it was

Just tell it like I want it to be

Don’t tell it like it is

Don’t tell it like it was

I try to brighten up my timeline

With Roger’s 18th slam

I’m so enamored of him

God above can’t hit his ground strokes with that kind of grace --

«Shut up and sing in falsetto

Sing in falsetto falling from the highest heights

Like the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics

'Cause everything is going great you should be super psyched

Put the false in falsetto

Let your voice go gentle into this good night

The further up it goes the faster it can fall in line

You entertainers need to keep the entertainment light

Don’t tell it like it is

Entertainers better keep the entertainment light

Don’t tell it like it was

Entertainers better keep the entertainment light

Just tell it like I want it to be

Don’t tell it like it is

Entertainers better keep the entertainment light

Don’t tell it like it was

Entertainers better keep the entertainment light

Just tell it like I want it to be"

I put the false in falsetto

Let my voice go gentle into this goodnight
