Vampire Weekend - Capricorn

Can't reach the moon now, can't turn the tide
The world looked different when God was on your side
Who builds the future? Do they care why?

I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen clearly, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born
Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries, for moments of your own

Alone and wounded but in my prime
I called the hospital, they didn't have the time
I'd seen it comin', it's no surprise

I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen clearly, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born
Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

A hundred dollars on someone's dime
I looked for answers there, they weren't mine to find
Good days are comin', not just to die

I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen, baby, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born
Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

Capricorn, the year that you were born
Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dying young, too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
