Ancient Ways - Interpol

Ooh, fuck the ancient ways

They are heretofore

Shown no claim

Got the time, won’t seek

They are oh still coming to paint the street

(At the station)

The city feeds us all like babes

And we’ve taken a bow

(At the station)

Shape the fight through sound

Become dutifully bound

To the ground

Fuck the ancient ways

They are ringing doorbells

They ran it by waste

(At the station)

The city needs us and all our names

Enterprise in her eyes

(At the station)

But beneath us an empire grows

Every stage we align

(At the station)

To be beaten by the weight of it

They are to be beaten by the weight

(At the station)

Come be people and enjoy our glow

Every change we allow

(At the station)

The city sees us all like babes

And we’ve taken a vow

(At the station)

To be beaten by the weight of it

They are beaten by the weight

(At the station)

Should we seek them for the sake of it?

May we greet them right away
