Vampire Weekend - California English: Part 2 Lyrics






Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh

This girl wrote drug raps in baggy sweaters
Tight neon tights, t-shirts and big letters

Back at her house
Was an Irish setter
With a heart shaped tag
Hanging off its collar

Through half the towns of arizona
I dream the dreams I have when I hold her
Near palm springs we were struck by boulders
Cause they look like skull in bones

Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh

Questions I had
As I went through this
Are our parents actually buddhist?
Is the pool below me the bluest?
Is the tv on?

Through half the taquerias y fondas
Half the health clubs, half of the saunas
Half the Barbaras, half of the Rhondas
Is there something there?

Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh

This girl was smarter than television scripts
This girl wasn't damaged her jeans were just ripped
"this girl was the girl that the girls in your world thought about"
When the night was cold

How many times they've claimed that they know you
How many nations think that they own you
How many simple minds think the same sun don’t shine on their sunglasses now

Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh
Oh california oh california oh california oh

    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    skulldrug hats and baggy sweaters
    tight neon tights, t-shirts and big letters
    back of the house was an irish setter
    with a heart-shaped tag hanging off its collar
    through half the towns of arizona
    i dreamed a dream, said "i wanna hold her"
    near palm springs we were struck by boulders
    cos they looked like skull and bones
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    questions i had as i went through this
    are our parents actually buddhist?
    is the pool below me the bluest?
    is the tv on?
    through half the taquerias y fondas
    half the health clubs, half of the saunas
    half the barbaras, half of the rhondas
    is there something else?
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    this girl was smarter than television scripts
    this girl wasn't damaged, her jeans were just ripped
    this girl was the girl that the girls in your world
    thought about when the night was cold
    how many times they claim that they know you?
    how many nations think that they own you?
    how many simple minds think the same sun don't shine on their sunglasses now?
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
    oh california, oh california, oh california, oh
