Ladies of Cambridge
Vampire Weekend Lyrics
Chestnut Park on a Saturday night
Mystical boys feelin' alright
Raggedy wisdom falls from my hand
As the ladies of Cambridge know who I am
I've had dreams of Boston all of my life
Chinatown between the sound of the night
But if you leave I just don't think I could take it
Take it
Take it
Graveyard freaks, we're fallin' in style
Lady as pharaoh, Charles as the Nile
That's a museum, price you could pay
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 sound 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

It makes me remember "Something Against You" by Pixies.

Maybe the intro of that song, this is much more refined and sophisticated
