"A-Punk" Lyrics

Vampire Weekend

 

 

• Johanna drove slowly into the city
• The Hudson River all filled with snow
• She spied the ring on His Honor's finger
• Oh-oh-oh
• A thousand years in one piece of silver
• She took it from his lilywhite hand
• Showed no fear - she'd seen the thing
• In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering
• [CHORUS:]
• Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
• His Honor drove southward seeking exotica
• Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
• Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas
• Oh-oh-oh
• I saw Johanna down in the subway
• She took an apartment in Washington Heights
• Half of the ring lies here with me
• But the other half's at the bottom of the sea
• [CHORUS]
