Vampire Weekend California English, Part 2 song lyrics

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
