I am so very much in love with the new song "Step" from Vampire Weekend's new album, Modern Vampires of the City.
The lyrics are brilliant, and playful, and silly.....
***
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
she's richer than croesus, she's tougher than leather
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
***
wisdom's a gift but you trade it for youth
age is an honor - it's still not the truth
we saw the stars when they hid from the world
you cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl.
maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
the truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
we know the true death - the true way of all flesh
everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
***
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
what you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone.
Every time I see you in the world
you always step to my girl.
Here's the video, have a little looksee:
