Local Natives - Bowery Lyrics






We were standing
at forsythe and Bowery.
Flowers and painted forehead
Trying to forget.

You can't tell if the ceilings rising
or if the floor's falling out.

I remember sunrise without sleep
Godlike and cowering
Taller stacks of stone
Is all we'll have to show.

You can't tell if the ceilings rising
or if the floor's falling out.

At the time I wasn't with you
By that time I didn't care
At the time I wasn't with you
By that time I didn't care

The fall is so much faster
Than you and I could ever climb.

    Not bad

    every single member of Local Natives is a musician in the truest sense, which is probably why they are underappreciated or receiving less recognition than they should. All acquired taste means only people passionate for what they are enjoying can understand and appreciate it, where a layman - it just doesn't make sense, like a foreign language. Such respect for this 5-piece
