Vampire Weekend - Walcott

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 could 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

The 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 bears out in 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?

Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof

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

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

Vampire Weekend - A-Punk

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

Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
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

Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma

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 your 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
