White Sky Lyrics - Contra - 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 

The 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

Around the corner, the house that modern art built 

I ask 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 skatepark 

You waited since lunch 

It all comes at once 

Photos 

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 bowl upon the sink there 

You waited since lunch 

It all comes at once
