Vampire Weekend California English, Pt. II lyrics

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

This girl wrote dry raps
In baggy sweaters
Tight neon tights, t-shirts with 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 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 taquerías 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 maps think the same sun don't shine on the sunglasses now

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
