Vampire Weekend Lyrics for Song: California English
 Lyrics for Album: Contra [2010]
 
 
 
 2098>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 to Z:s 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
 
 2098>
