Vampire Weekend Boston song lyrics

Chestnut Park on a Saturday night

Mystical boys feelin' alright

Raggedy wisdom falls from my hands

The ladies of Cambridge know who I am

I've had dreams of Boston all of my life

Chinatown between the sounds of the night

But if you leave I just don't think I could take... it

Take... it

Take... it

Take... it

Graveyard bricks were falling in style

The Lady's the pharaoh, Charles is the Nile

That's the museum price you could pay

As the stones of your fathers stand there today

I've had dreams of Boston all of my life

Chinatown between the sounds of the night

But if you leave I just don't think I could take... it

Take... it

Take... it

Take... it

I've had dreams of Boston all of my life

Chinatown between the sounds of the night

'Cause when you left my room to go to the kitchen

I imagined that you were dead

A morbid streak runs through the whole of my family

But for you I could put it to rest

But if you leave I just don't think I could take... it

Take... it

Take... it

Take
