Harmony Hall Lyrics - Vampire Weekend

We took a vow in summertime 

Now we find ourselves in late December 

I believe that New Year's Eve 

Will be the perfect time 

For their great surrender 

But they don't remember 

Anger wants a voice 

Voices wanna sing 

Singers harmonize 

Till they can't hear anything 

Thought that I was free 

From all that questioning 

But every time a problem ends 

Another one begins

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness 

Anybody with a holy mind can never forgive the sight 

Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified 

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

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

Within the halls of power lies 

A nervous heart that beats 

Like a young pretender's 

Beneath these velvet gloves I hide 

The shameful crooked ends 

Of money lender 

'Cause I still remember 

Photos 

Anger wants a voice 

Voices wanna sing 

Singers harmonize 

Till they can't hear anything 

Thought that I was free 

From all that questioning 

But every time a problem ends 

Another one begins 

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness 

Anybody with a holy mind can never forgive the sight 

Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified 

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

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

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness 

Anybody with a holy mind can never forgive the sight 

Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified 

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

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

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness 

Anybody with a holy mind can never forgive the sight 

Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified 

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