| Vampire Weekend – Diplomat's Son Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I have the physical album, which includes the lyrics. This is my favorite song in the album, and these lyrics are a tad off. Here are the lyrics printed in the album: Diplomat's Son It's not right bit it's now or never And if I wait could I ever forgive myself? On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide With the light from the TV's buzzing in the house Cuz I'm gonna cut it where I can And then I'm gonna duck out behind them If I ever had a chance it's now then But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you To offer it to you would be cruel When all I want to do is use, use you He was a diplomat's son It was '81 Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen I could sleep wherever I lay my head And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub Let me know that I shouldn't give up just yet Cuz I'm gonna take it from Simon And then I'm gonna duck out behind them If I ever had a chance it's now then but I never had the feeling I could offer that to you To offer it to you would be cruel When all I want to do is use, use you He was a diplomat's son It was '81 I know, you'll say I'm not doing it right but this is how I want it I can't go back To how I felt before There's-- That night I smoked a joint With my best friend We found ourselves in bed When I woke up he was gone He was the diplomat's son It was '81 Looking out at the ice-cold water all around me I can't feel any traces of that other place In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river There's a car all black with diplomatic plates |
