Vampire Weekend > Modern Vampires of the City Obvious Bicycle
Lyrics
Morning's come, you watch the red sun rise
The LED still flickers in your eyes
Oh you outta' spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna' spare the time for you
No one's gonna' watch you as you go
From a house you didn't build and can't control
Oh, you outta' spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna' spare the time for you
Why don't you spare the world your labour
It's been twenty years and no one's told the truth
So listen, Oh
So listen, Oh
Don't wait
Don't wait
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
So keep that list of who to thank in mind
And don't forget the rich ones who were kind
Oh, and don't you spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna' spare the time for you
Why don't you spare their word's are ‘traitor'
Take your witch back and leave before you lose
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
So while the sun's coming down
Cover ground
Cover ground
And if you found some love for these clowns
Turn around
Turn around
I'll be asleep on the floor of our high school GYM
Thinking of you and wondering if anyone else could begin
To listen
Listen
Don't wait
Don't wait
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
So listen, Oh
(Listen, ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
Don't wait
(Don't wait ay hey ay hey ay hey)
