Vampire Weekend — California English Pt. 2

[Chorus] Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh [Verse 1] 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 looked like skull and bones [Chorus] Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 towns have 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? [Chorus] Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
