Walk Manhattan Lyrics by Robin Pecknold

St. Vincent Street

0

[Verse 1]
Caught among the hills of tall monuments to mankind's little dreams. But our body's keep it empty and monoliths are tearing at the seams and it seems it's like a dream
[Chorus 1]
Marionettes walking in lines
Turning back time, turning back time or hoping to
[Verse 2]
We were synchronistic with love unrealistic like a dream
Lincoln see it endless or cynical and friendless at the seam
At the seam it's like a dream
[Bridge 1]
Curling your lips, moving your hips
Monument, monument
It's all a dream
[Verse 3]
Oh, but talk, talk is cheap, leaves me tired
So lie through the night, through the night
[Bridge 2]
Caught among the monuments
Walking to the shoreline and the sea
Wondering the hope for us, wondering the hope for you and me- but a shoreline at the sea
[Chorus 2]
Marionettes falling in line
Wasting their time, falling in line with you and me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, but we, we watched the sun fade a rhyme's minds
Fade a rhyme's night in the night, in the night
[Outro]
And we were left on Vincent Street
Squires writing slurs on the walls
She don't owe a thing to me
A brilliantly green leaf in the fall
Owes me nothing, not at all
