Vampire Weekend - White Sky lyrics
[Vampire Weekend - White Sky lyrics]
An ancient business
A modern piece of glasswork
Down on the corner that you
Walk each day in passing
The elderly sales clerk won't
Eye us with suspicion the whole
Immortal corporation's given it's permission
A little stairway, a little piece of carpet
A pair of mirrors that are facing one another
Out in both directions
A thousand little Julias
That come together in the middle of Manhattan
You waited since lunch it all comes at once
Ah ooh ooh ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Around the corner
The house that modern art built
A house for modern art to
Keep it out the closets
The people who might own it
The sins of pride and envy
And on the second floor
The Richard Serra Skate Park
You waited since lunch it all comes at once
Ah ooh ooh ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Sit on the park wall
Ask all the right questions
"Why are the horses racing
Taxis in the winter?"
Look up at the buildings
Imagine who might live there
Imagining your wolfords in a ball
Upon the sink there
You waited since lunch it all comes at once
Ah ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
A modern piece of glasswork
Down on the corner that you
Walk each day in passing
The elderly sales clerk won't
Eye us with suspicion the whole
Immortal corporation's given it's permission
A little stairway, a little piece of carpet
A pair of mirrors that are facing one another
Out in both directions
A thousand little Julias
That come together in the middle of Manhattan
You waited since lunch it all comes at once
Ah ooh ooh ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Around the corner
The house that modern art built
A house for modern art to
Keep it out the closets
The people who might own it
The sins of pride and envy
And on the second floor
The Richard Serra Skate Park
You waited since lunch it all comes at once
Ah ooh ooh ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ah ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
