Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof lyrics
[Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof lyrics]
I see a mansard roof through the trees
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet
The hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too
I see a mansard roof through the trees
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet
The hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too
The Argentines collapse in defeat
The admiralty surveys the remnants
Of the fleet
The ground beneath their feet is
A nautically mapped sheet
As thin as paper while it
Slips away from view
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet
The hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too
I see a mansard roof through the trees
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet
The hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too
The Argentines collapse in defeat
The admiralty surveys the remnants
Of the fleet
The ground beneath their feet is
A nautically mapped sheet
As thin as paper while it
Slips away from view
