Vampire Weekend
Giving Up The Gun

Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you're giving up the gun

When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete
And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I'm obsolete

But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I'd cut the cannons down
My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound

Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you're giving up the gun

I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight
Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night

You felt the coming wave
Told me we'd all be brave
You said you wouldn't flinch
But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven't moved an inch

Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you're giving up the gun

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on

Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You're right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you're giving up the gun


Mirror lyrics:

That now you're giving up the gun
I see it in your eyes
You're right back where you started from
And though it's been a long time
Forgetting all the things it's done
It's locked up like a trophy
Burnt beneath the rising sun
Your sword's grown old and rusty

Go on, go on, go on
I see you shine in your way

That now you're giving up the gun
I see it in your eyes
You're right back where you started from
And though it's been a long time
Forgetting all the things it's done
It's locked up like a trophy
Burnt beneath the rising sun
Your sword's grown old and rusty

You haven't moved an inch
Since I saw you last
But in the years that passed
You said you wouldn't flinch
Told me we'd all be brave
You felt the coming wave

Used to save the night
And your garbage style
Your Tokugawa smile
Where skinheads used to fight
Down at a seedy bar
I heard you play guitar

That now you're giving up the gun
I see it in your eyes
You're right back where you started from
And though it's been a long time
Forgetting all the things it's done
It's locked up like a trophy
Burnt beneath the rising sun
Your sword's grown old and rusty

But I still crave that sound
From all the rifle hits
My ears are blown to bits
I'd cut the cannons down
To see those better days
But if the chance remained

And I'm obsolete
Behind a brass charade
And now my body fades
And I felt complete
I had wrists like steel
When I was 17

That now you're giving up the gun
I see it in your eyes
You're right back where you started from
And though it's been a long time
Forgetting all the things it's done
It's locked up like a trophy
Burnt beneath the rising sun
Your sword's grown old and rusty
