Taxi Cab Lyrics


Unsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it nowYou stand this close to me
Like the future was supposed to be
In the aisles of the grocery
In the blocks uptownI remember
Remember well
But if I'd forgotten
Could you tell?In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You said, "Baby, we don't speak of that"
Like a real aristocratCompound to compound
Lazy and safe
Wanting to leave it
Wanting to waitWhen the taxi door was open wide
I pretended I was horrified
By the uniform clothes outside

Of the court yard gateYou're not a victim
But neither am I
Nostalgic for garbage
Desperate for timeI could blame it on your mother's hair
Or the colors that your father wears
But I know that I was never fair
You were always fineUnsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it nowYou stand this close to me
Like the future was suppose to be
In the aisles of the grocery
In the blocks uptownI remember
Remember it well
And if I'd forgotten
Could you tell?In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You were standing on another track
Like a real aristocrat

Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band which formed in February 2006 in New York City, New York, United States. The band consists of Ezra Koenig (vocals, guitar), Rostam Batmanglij (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Chris Baio (bass) and Christopher Tomson (drums). The band has released two albums: Their successful 2008 self-titled album and 2010's "Contra". The band has gained positive comparisons to such artists as Paul Simon, Haircut 100 and The Walkmen.

Vampire Weekend received much buzz from local blogs throughout 2007 during their rise to a record deal with indie label XL Recordings. Rolling Stone placed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa at number 57 for the top 100 songs of 2007.

The band's debut album, "Vampire Weekend" was released on January 28. 2008. It was surprise success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard 200.

Their second album "Contra" was released on January 12, 2010. It contains the single "Cousins". The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, only the 12th independently released and distributed album to achieve such a feat.

They are self-proclaimed "specialists in the following styles: 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa', 'Upper West Side Soweto', 'Campus', and 'Oxford Comma Riddim.'"
