Local Natives
Bowery
[Verse 1]
We were standing
At Forsyth and Bowery
Flowers and painted forehead
Trying to forget

[Chorus]
(Oh) Can't tell if the ceiling's rising
(Oh) Or if the floor's falling out

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I remember some nights without sleep
Godlike and cowering
Taller stacks of stones
Is all we'll have to show

[Chorus]
(Oh) Can't tell if the ceiling's rising
(Oh) Or if the floor's falling out

[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
The fall is so much faster
Than you and I could ever climb
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
