Mansard Roof
Lyrics
I see a mansard roof through the trees I see a salty message written in the eaves The ground beneath my feet, the hot garbage and concrete And now the tops of buildings, I can see them, toofull lyrics...

The ground beneath my feet, the hot garbage and concrete Songwriters: Christopher Joseph Baio, Rostam Batmanglij, Ezra Koenig, Christopher Tomson Publisher: VAMPIRE WEEKEND MUSIC I see a mansard roof through the trees The Argentines collapse in defeat The admiralty surveys, the remnants of the fleet I see a salty message written in the eaves And now the tops of buildings, I can see them, too And now the tops of buildings, I can see them, too I see a salty message written in the eaves The ground beneath their feet is a nautically mapped sheet I see a mansard roof through the trees It's thin as paper while it slips away from view The ground beneath my feet, the hot garbage and concrete
