California English by Vampire Weekend
California English lyrics
Wouldn�t ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love
Never really heard you speak that way, it�s unworthy of�
Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt
Funny how the other private schools had no Hapa Club
Someone took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps
Your father moved across the country
Just to sunburn his scalp
Contra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say
Living like the French Connection, but we�ll die in LA
Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they�ll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there �til May
Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK
Waiting with the wind against your face
And gel in your hair
Shivering in little undershirts, but don�t seem to care
Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they�ll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
Sweet carob rice cake
She don�t care how the sweets taste
Fake Philly cheese steak
But she use real toothpaste
Cuz if that Tom�s don�t work
If it just makes you worse
Would you loose all of you faith in the good Earth
And if it�s all a curse
And we�re just getting worse
Baby, please don�t lose your faith in the good earth
Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they�ll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
