Vampire Weekend - Taxi Cab lyrics

rate me

<br>

Unsentimental, <br />

Driving around, <br />

Sure of myself,<br />

Sure of it now,<br />

You stand this close to me,<br />

Like the future was suppose to be,<br />

In the eyes of the Grocery,<br />

In the block uptown,<br />

<br />

I remember,<br />

Remember well,<br />

But if I forgotten,<br />

Could you tell,<br />

<br />

In the shadow of your first attack,<br />

I was questioning and looking back,<br />

You said baby we don't speak of that,<br />

Like a real aristocrat,<br />

<br />

Compound to compound,<br />

Lazy and safe,<br />

(Wanting leave it)?<br />

(Born in two way)?<br />

When the taxi door was open wide,<br />

I pretended I was horrified,<br />

By the uniform clothes outside,<br />

Of the court yard gate,<br />

<br />

You're not a victim,<br />

But neither am I,<br />

Nostalgic for garbage,<br />

Desperate for time,<br />

I could blame it on your mother's head,<br />

Or the colors that you father wears,<br />

But I know that I was never fair,<br />

You were always fine,<br />

<br />

Unsentimental, <br />

Driving around, <br />

Sure of myself,<br />

Sure of it now,<br />

You stand this close to me,<br />

Like the future was suppose to be,<br />

In the eyes of the Grocery,<br />

In the blocks uptown,<br />

<br />

I remember,<br />

Remember it well,<br />

But if I forgotten,<br />

Would you tell,<br />

<br />

In the shadow of your first attack,<br />

I was questioning and looking back,<br />

You were standing on another track,<br />

Like a real aristocrat,

<br><br><br><br>
