Don't Lie

Vampire Weekend · Modern Vampires Of The City [2013]

One look sent knees to the ground

Young bloods can't be settling down

Young hearts need the pressure to pound

So hold me close, my baby



Don't lie

I want him to know

Gods' loves die young

Is he ready to go?

It's the last time running through snow

Where the vaults are full and the fire's bold



I want to know - does it bother you?

The low click of a ticking clock

There's a lifetime right in front of you

And everyone I know



Young Turks

Young Saturday night

Young hips shouldn't break on this ice

Old flames - they can't warm you tonight

So keep it cool, my baby



Don't lie

I want him to know

Dial up, three rings and return him his gold

It's the last time running through snow

Where the vaults are full and the fire's bold



I want to know - does it bother you?

The low click of a ticking clock

There's a headstone right in front of you

And everyone I know
