Vampire Weekend - Giving Up The Gun
LRC by lzh, from jiangxi pingxiang
Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things its done
All though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
Now you're giving up the gun
When I was seventeen
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete
And now my body fades
Behind my brass charade
And I'm obsolete
But if the chance remains
To see those better days
I go to canons now
My ears are blown to bits
From all the rivalries
Still I crave that sound
Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
Now you're giving up the gun
I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight
You talk ???
In a garage style
Used to save the night
You felt the coming wave
Told me we'd all be brave
You said you wouldn't flinch
But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven't moved an inch
Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
Now you're giving up the gun
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
I see you shining your way
Go on, go on, go on
Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
Now you're giving up the gun
