Finger Back Songtext - Vampire Weekend

Finger Back - Vampire Weekend

Bend my finger back, snap, wrap it in a paper towel
Break a twig in half and set it straight
Hit me with a wood bat, hit me with a canister
That's fired while the soldiers drive away

Bend my finger back, snap
On and on and on and on for days
Hit me with a wood bat, hit me like a yankee
Like a son of freedom, never as a slave

It's etiquette, you idiot, spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody wants you, but baby, you are mine
Baby, you aren't anybody's fool

Bless me with a heart attack, a real crise cardiaque
And show me where to find the surgeon's knife
Eviscerate me now, hack, take me to my punishment
The punishment I've needed all my life

Bend my finger back, snap
On and on and on and on with strife
Listen to my bum rap, listen to the evidence
Exonerating me from being right

It's etiquette, you idiot, spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody wants you, but baby, you are mine
Baby, you're not anybody's fool

I know that I've been wicked and the road to hell is wide
Cursed by curiosity that made us go inside
Everyone was charming, we'd took 'em for a ride
Baby, you're not anybody's fool

Bend my finger back, snap, wrap it in a paper towel
Break a twig in half and set it straight
Hit me with a wood bat, hit me with a canister
That fires while the soldiers drive away

Bend my finger back, snap
On and on and on and on for days
Hit me with a wood bat, hit me like a yankee
Like a son of freedom, never as a slave

It's etiquette, you idiot, spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody wants you, but baby, you are mine
Baby, you're not anybody's fool

The harpsichord is broken and the television's fried
The city's getting hotter like a country in decline
Everyone's a coward when you look 'em in the eyes
Baby, you're not anybody's fool

Sing next year in Jerusalem
You know, the one at W. 103rd and Broadway?
Cuz this orthodox girl fell in love with the guy at the falafel shop and why not?
Should she have averted her eyes and just stared at the laminated poster of the dome of the rock?

And remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die

Condolences to gentle hearts who couldn't bear to try
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die
Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die
