Julia Holter
Maxim’s II
[Verse 1]
Tonight the birds are watching me
Do they have more important things to do?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What of hearts in diamonds?
Oh, I don't understand
I don't understand

[Chorus]
Into Maxim's, we will see them walk
Will they eat a piece of cheese, or will they talk?
When they're loud enough, we can hear their words
By night we are inquisitory birds
Some nights we are asked if we ever tire
Of gazing at their heels and everyday desires
Remember every dewy tale written of their loves?
Compare them to the ones they touch in front of us

[Bridge]
We do not dance a story for you
Gil Blas bored whispers awakening the beast in me

[Verse 2]
Go! Find your feet (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Drink some blood, say it to my face
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you wanna be starting something
If you wanna be starting something

[Chorus]
Into Maxim's, we will see them walk
Will they eat a piece of cheese, or will they talk?
When they're loud enough, we can hear their words
By night we are inquisitory birds
Some nights we are asked if we ever tire
Of gazing at their heels and everyday desires
Remember every dewy tale written of their loves?
Compare them to the ones they touch in front of us
