Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey Lyrics
[Verse 1]Oh, sweet thingZion doesn't love youAnd Babylon don't love youBut you love everything.Oh, you saintAmerica don't love youSo I could never love youIn spite of everything[Pre-Chorus]In the dark of this placeThere's the glow of your faceThere's the dust on the screenOf this broken machineAnd I can't help but feelThat I've made some mistakeBut I let it goYa Hey (x3)[Chorus]Through the fire and through the flames(Ya hey x2, what do you eh ya hey x2)You won't even say your name(Ya hey x2, what do you eh ya hey x2)Through the fire and through the flamesYou won't even say your nameOnly "I am that I am"But who could ever live that way?(Ya Hey x2)What do you eh? Ya HeyWhat do you? you[Verse 2]Oh,The motherland don't love youThe fatherland don't love youSo why love anything?Oh, good GodThe faithless, they don't love youThe zealous hearts don't love youAnd that's not gonna change[Pre-Chorus]All the cameras and filesAll the paranoid stylesAll the tension and fearOf a secret careerAnd I can't help but feelThat you see the mistakesBut you let it goYa Hey (x3)[Chorus][Middle 8]Outside the tents, on the festival groundsAs the air began to cool, and the sun went downMy soul swooned, as I faintly heard the soundOf you spinning Israelite'sInto 19th Nervous Breakdown[Chorus][Refrain]Through the fire and through the flamesYou won't even say your nameOnly "I am that I am"But who could ever live that way?(Ya Hey x2)What do you eh? Ya HeyWhat do you? you
