Here's an infinitely better recorded live video of VAMPIRE WEEKEND's new as-yet-untitled song - nicknamed 'New Song #2' - filmed at Pitchfork Festival 2012.

But first, here are the lyrics:

"I know the world is a cold, cold place to be
Want a little warmth, but who's gonna save a little warmth for me?
We know the fire awaits unbelievers, all of the sinners are saying
Girl you and I will die unbelievers, bound to the tracks of the train

See the snow come down, it's coming on down from the highest peak
Want a little leaf, but who's gonna save a little leaf for me?
We know the fire awaits unbelievers, all of the sinners are saying
Girl you and I will die unbelievers, bound to the tracks of the train

I'm not excited, but should I be?
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you, and you loved the sea
But what holy water contains a little drop, a little drop for me?

See the sun go down, it's going on down and the night is deep
Want a little light, but who's gonna save a little light for me?
We know the fire awaits unbelievers, all of the sinners are saying
Girl you and I will die unbelievers, bound to the tracks of the train

We were born again, I know that the world will disagree
Want a little grace, but who's gonna save a little grace for me?
We know the fire awaits unbelievers, all the sinners are saying
Girl you and I will die unbelievers, bound to the tracks of the train

I'm not excited, but should I be?
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you, and you love the sea
But what holy water contains a little drop, a little drop for me?

I'm not excited, but should I be?
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you, and you love the sea
But what holy water contains a little drop, a little drop for me?"
