Vampire Weekend - Cousins lyrics

Ayy ayy oh ah, ayy ayy oh ah, ayy ayy oh ah
Ayy ayy ayy
Ayy ayy oh ah, ayy ayy oh ah, ayy ayy oh ah
Ayy ayy ayy

You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They're gonna find it if you
Didn't close the door
You and the smart ones sit
Outside of their sight
In a house on a street they
Wouldn't park on at night
Dad was a risk taker, his was a shoe maker
You, "Greatest Hit's 2006" little list maker
Heard codes in the melodies
You heeded the call
Oh, you were born with ten fingers
And you're gonna use them all

Interesting colors I discovered myself
If your art life is gritty
You'll be toasting my health
If an interest in culture should
Be lining the walls
When your birthright is interest
You could just accrue it all

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that's always running
Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
I can feel it coming

You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that's always running
Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
I can feel it coming
Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that's always running
Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
I can feel it coming
