Vampire Weekend - Taxi Cab

LRC by lzh, from jiangxi pingxiang

Unsentimental

Driving around

Sure of myself

Sure of it now

You were standing this close to me

Like the future was supposed to be

In the aisles of the grocery

And the blocks up-town

I remember

Remember well

But if I'd forgotten

Could you tell?

In the shadow of your first attack

I was questioning and looking back

You said "Baby, we don't speak of that"

Like a real aristocrat

Compound to compound

Lazy and safe

Wanting to leave it

Wanting to wait

When the taxi doors opened wide

I pretended I was horrified

by the uniformed clothes outside

and the courtyard gate

You're not a victim

But neither am I

Nostalgic for garbage

Desperate for time

I could blame it on your mother's hair

Or the colors that your father wears

But I know that I was never fair

You were always fine

Unsentimental

Driving around

Sure of myself

Sure of it now

You were standing this close to me

Like the future was supposed to be

In the aisles of the grocery

and the blocks up-town

I remember

Remember it well

And if I'd forgotten

Could you tell?

In the shadow of your first attack

I was questioning and looking back

You were standing on another track

Like a real aristocrat
