Finger Back Lyrics - Modern Vampires Of The City - Vampire Weekend

Bend my finger back (snap) 

Wrap it in a paper towel 

Break a twig in half and set it straight 

Hit me with a wood bat 

Hit me with a canister that's fired while 

The soldiers drive away 

Bend my finger back (snap) 

On and on and on and on for days 

Hit me with a wood bat 

Hit me like a Yankee, like a son of 

Freedom, never had a slave 

It's etiquette, you idiot 

Spend time behind the line 

Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine 

Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine 

And baby you're not anybody's fool

Bless me with a heart attack 

A real crise cardiaque 

And show me where to find the 

Surgeon's knife 

Eviscerate me now (hack) 

Take me to my punishment? 

The punishment I needed all my life 

Bend my finger back (snap) 

On and on and on and on with strife 

Listen to my bum rap 

Listen to the evidence exonerating me from 

Being right 

It's etiquette, you idiot 

Spend time behind the line 

Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't 

Ever shine 

Photos 

Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine 

Baby you're not anybody's fool 

You know that I've been wicked and the 

Road to hell is wide 

Cursed by curiosity that made 

Us go inside 

Everyone was charming but they took 

Us for a ride 

Baby, you're not anybody's fool 

Bend my finger back (snap) 

Wrap it in a paper towel 

Break a twig in half and set it straight 

Hit me with a wood bat 

Hit me with a canister that's fired while 

The soldiers drive away 

Bend my finger back (snap) 

On and on and on and on for days 

Hit me with a wood bat 

Hit me like a Yankee, like a son of 

Freedom, never had a slave 

It's etiquette, you idiot 

Spend time behind the line 

Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine 

Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine 

And baby you're not anybody's fool 

The harpsichord is broken and the 

Television's fried 

The city's getting hotter like a 

Country in decline 

Everyone's a coward when you look 

Them in the eyes 

But baby, you're not anybody's fool 

See ya next year in Jerusalem 

You know, the one at 103rd and Broadway? 

Cause this Orthodox girl fell in love with the guy at the falafel shop 

And why not? 

Should she have averted her eyes and just stared at the laminated poster of the Dome 

of the Rock? 

And then blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, bloooood 

And then blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, bloooood 

Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye 

I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die 

Condolences to gentle hearts who 

Couldn't bear to try 

I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die 

Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye 

I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
