California English pt.2 Lyrics

Cover art for California English pt.2 lyrics by Vampire Weekend

near palm springs we were struck by boulders cause they look like skull in bones -> skull and bones.

"Skull in bones" doesn't really make sense. Near Palm Springs means in the desert, which probably typically has skulls and bones lying around. Als "Skull and Bones" is a secret society at Yale, so it would fit with VW's Ivy League vibe.
