[00:00.00]Vampire Weekend - Taxi Cab
[00:02.00]
[02:32.56][00:04.53]Unsentimental
[02:36.13][00:07.42]Driving around
[02:38.88][00:10.35]Sure of myself
[02:41.81][00:13.16]Sure of it now
[02:44.62][00:16.13]You were standing this close to me
[02:47.44][00:18.63]Like the future was supposed to be
[02:50.30][00:21.73]In the aisles of the grocery
[00:24.58]And the blocks up-town
[02:56.41][00:27.81]I remember
[00:30.31]Remember well
[00:32.94]But if I'd forgotten
[03:04.71][00:36.16]Could you tell?
[03:07.51][00:38.95]In the shadow of your first attack
[03:10.32][00:41.74]I was questioning and looking back
[00:44.61]You said "Baby, we don't speak of that"
[03:15.96][00:47.38]Like a real aristocrat
[01:12.55]Compound to compound
[01:15.82]Lazy and safe
[01:18.80]Wanting to leave it
[01:21.78]Wanting to wait
[01:24.55]When the taxi doors opened wide
[01:27.24]I pretended I was horrified
[01:30.20]by the uniformed clothes outside
[01:33.06]and the courtyard gate
[01:36.23]You're not a victim
[01:38.82]But neither am I
[01:41.81]Nostalgic for garbage
[01:44.59]Desperate for time
[01:47.26]I could blame it on your mother's hair
[01:50.22]Or the colors that your father wears
[01:53.06]But I know that I was never fair
[01:55.86]You were always fine
[02:53.26]and the blocks up-town
[02:58.94]Remember it well
[03:01.84]And if I'd forgotten
[03:12.99]You were standing on another track
