Vampire Weekend - Harmony Hall lyrics
[Vampire Weekend - Harmony Hall lyrics]
We took a vow in summertime
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year's Eve
Will be the perfect time
For their great surrender
But they don't remember
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize 'til they
Can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Within the halls of power lies
A nervous heart that beats
Like a Young Pretender's
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender
'Cause, I still remember
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize 'til they
Can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year's Eve
Will be the perfect time
For their great surrender
But they don't remember
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize 'til they
Can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Within the halls of power lies
A nervous heart that beats
Like a Young Pretender's
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender
'Cause, I still remember
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize 'til they
Can't hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends

I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
And the stone walls of

Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
Ooh, ooh, ooh i don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
And the stone walls of
Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could
Never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die
