White Sky - Vampire Weekend

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 its 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

Un'antica attività, un moderno pezzo di vetro

Giù all'angolo che percorri ogni giorno di passaggio

L'anziano commesso non ci guarderà con sospetto

L'intera, immortale corporazione ha dato il suo permesso

Una scaletta, un pezzo di tappeto

Una coppia di specchi uno di fronte all'altro

Fuori in entrambe le direzioni, una mille piccola Julia

Che si uniscono nel mezzo di Manhattan

Hai aspettato da pranzo

Viene tutto in una volta

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

Dietro l'angolo, la casa costruita dall'arte moderna

Una casa per l'arte moderna per tenerla fuori dagli armadi

Le persone che potrebbero possederlo, i peccati di orgoglio e invidia

E al secondo piano, il Richard Serra Skate Park

Hai aspettato da pranzo

Viene tutto in una volta

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

Siediti sul muro del parco, fai tutte le domande giuste

«Perché i cavalli corrono in taxi in inverno?»

Guarda gli edifici, immagina chi potrebbe viverci

Immaginando i tuoi wolford in una palla sul lavandino lì

Hai aspettato da pranzo

Viene tutto in una volta

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
