Vampire Weekend "Giving Up The Gun" Songtext

Übersetzung nach:esrutr

Giving Up The Gun

Your sword’s grown old and rustyBurnt beneath the rising sunIt’s locked up like a trophyForgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long timeYou’re right back where you started fromI see it in your eyesThat now you’re giving up the gun

When I was 17I had wrists like steelAnd I felt complete

And now my body fadesBehind a brass charadeAnd I’m obsolete

But if the chance remainedTo see those better daysI’d cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bitsFrom all the rifle hitsBut I still crave that sound

CHORUS

I heard you play guitarDown at a seedy barWhere skinheads used to fight

Your Tokugawa smileAnd your garbage styleUsed to save the night

You felt the coming waveTold me we’d all be braveYou said you wouldn’t flinch

But in the years that passedSince I saw you lastYou haven’t moved an inch

CHORUS

I see you shine in your wayGo on, go on, go on

CHORUS
