Vampire Weekend Lyrics
Lyrics
Disc
Track
Title
- I see a mansard roof through the trees
- I see a salty message written in the eaves
- The ground beneath my feet
- The hot garbage and concrete
- And now the tops of buildings, I can see them too
- The Argentines collapse in defeat
- The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet
- The ground beneath their feet
- Is a nautically-mapped sheet
- As thin as paper
- While it slips away from view
- Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
- I've seen those English dramas too
- They're cruel
- So if there's any other way
- To spell the word
- It's fine with me, with me
- Why would you speak to me that way
- Especially when I always said that I
- Haven't got the words for you
- All your diction dripping with disdain
- Through the pain
- I always tell the truth
- Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
- I climbed to Dharamsala too
- I did
- I met the highest lama
- His accent sounded fine
- To me, to me
- Check your handbook
- It's no trick
- Take the chapstick
- Put it on your lips
- Crack a smile
- Adjust my tie
- Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys
- Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
- Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
- Why would you lie about anything at all?
- First the window, then it's to the wall
- Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth
- Check your passport
- It's no trick
- Take the chapstick
- Put it on your lips
- Crack a smile
- Adjust my tie
- Know your butler, unlike other guys
- Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
- Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
- Why would you lie about anything at all?
- First the window, then it's through the wall
- Why would you tape my conversations?
- Show your paintings
- At the United Nations
- Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

- Johanna drove slowly into the city
- The Hudson River all filled with snow
- She spied the ring on His Honor's finger
- Oh-oh-oh
- A thousand years in one piece of silver
- She took it from his lilywhite hand
- Showed no fear - she'd seen the thing
- In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering
- [CHORUS:]
- Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
- His Honor drove southward seeking exotica
- Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
- Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas
- Oh-oh-oh
- I saw Johanna down in the subway
- She took an apartment in Washington Heights
- Half of the ring lies here with me
- But the other half's at the bottom of the sea
- [CHORUS]
- [Thanks to Bamboozled for these lyrics]
- As a young girl
- Louis Vuitton
- With your mother
- On a sandy lawn
- As a sophomore
- With reggaeton
- And the linens
- You're sitting on
- Is your bed made?
- Is your sweater on?
- Do you want to
- Like you know I do
- But this feels so unnatural
- Peter Gabriel too
- Can you stay up
- To see the dawn
- In the colors
- Of Benetton?
- Is your bed made
- Is your sweater on
- Do you want to
- Like you know I do
- But this feels so unnatural
- Peter Gabriel too
- Is your bed made
- Is your sweater on
- Do you want to
- Like you know I do
- [Thanks to Bamboozled for these lyrics]
- It's going to take a little time
- While you're waiting like a factory line
- I'll fly across the park
- Backseat on the 79
- Wasted days you've come to pass
- So go I know you would not stay
- It wasn't true, but anyway
- Pollination yellow cab
- You walk up the stairs
- See the French kids by the door
- Up one more flight
- See the buddha on the second floor
- Coronation rickshaw grab
- So go, I know you would not stay
- It wasn't true, but anyway
- Racist dreams you should not have
- No excuse to be so callous
- Dress yourself in bleeding madras
- Charm your way across the Khyber Pass
- Stay awake to break the habit
- Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter
- Watch your step along the arch of glass
- I wake up
- My shoulder's cold
- I've got to leave here
- Before I go
- I pull my shirt on
- Walk out the door
- Drag my feet along the floor
- I pull my shirt on
- Walk out the door
- Drag my feet along the floor
- Then I see you
- You're walking cross the campus
- Cruel professor
- Studying romances
- How am I supposed to pretend
- I never want to see you again?
- How am I supposed to pretend
- I never want to see you again?
- Walk to class
- In front of ya
- Spilled kefir
- On your keffiyah
- You look inside
- And turn to the door
- Drag your feet across the floor
- Then I see you
- You're walking cross the campus
- Cruel professor
- Studying romances
- How am I supposed to pretend
- I never want to see you again?
- How am I supposed to pretend
- I never want to see you again?
- In the afternoon
- You're out on the stone and grass
- And I'm sleeping on the balcony
- After class
- Ion displacement
- Won't work in the basement
- Especially when i'm not with you
- Here in the heartland
- A feelin so startlin
- I dont know what i should do
- Oh Bryn, you see through the dark
- Right past the fireflies that sleep in my heart
- You know its easy to see
- Wait for the season to come back to me
- Nights by the ocean
- A westerly motion
- That moves california to sea
- Eyes like a seagull
- No kansas palm beetle
- Could ever come close to that free
- Oh Bryn, you see through the dark
- Right past the fireflies that sleep in my heart
- You know its easy to see
- Wait for the season to come back to me
- [Thanks to Bamboozled for these lyrics]
- Occident out on the weekend
- That's the way that we relax
- English Breakfast tastes like Darjeeling
- But she's too cute to even ask
- Blake's got a new face (Blake's got a new face)
- Nastiness will cause your doom
- Turn and walk back to your room
- The precedent's already set now
- You spend a week in Old San Juan
- Spanish brownstone with chairs of leather
- And Spanish waves to roll along
- Majesty's not overheard
- Cryptographs can't stand the word
- Oh your collegiate grief has left you dowdy in sweatshirts
- Absolute horror!
- You've been checking on my facts
- And I admit I have been lax
- In double-screening what I say
- It wasn't funny anyway
- I stand corrected
- No one cares when you are wrong
- But I've been at this far too long
- To act like that when we should be
- In perfect harmony
- I stand corrected
- Lord knows I haven't tried
- I'll take my stand
- One last time
- Forget the protocol
- I'll take your hand
- Right in mine
- Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
- Walcott, Mystic seaport is that way
- Don't you know that your life would be lost out of Cape Cod tonight?
- Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
- Walcott, the bottleneck is a shit show
- Hyannisport is a ghetto out of Cape Cod tonight
- Lobster's claw is sharp as knives
- Evil feasts on human lives
- The Holy Roman Empire roots for you
- Walcott, all the way to New Jersey
- All the way to the Garden State, out of Cape Cod tonight
- Walcott, fuck the women from Wellfleet
- Fuck the bands from Provincetown
- Heed my words and take flight
- Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
- Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
- (Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?
- Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
- Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?)

- A devastating backstroke
- All the way from France
- With shiny, shiny cufflinks
- A shirtsleeve to enhance
- The pin-striped men of morning
- Are coming for to dance
- With pure Egyptian Cotton
- The kids don't stand a chance
- You criticize the practice
- By murdering their plants
- Ignoring all the history
- Denying them romance
- The pin-striped men of morning
- Are coming for to dance
- Forty-million dollars
- The kids don't stand a chance
- I didn't like the business,
- But that was at first glance
- Your pillow feels so soft now
- But still you must advance
- The pin-striped men of morning
- The partners in the dance
- The paper's shot to pieces
- The kids don't stand a chance
