VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS

"Diplomat's Son"

It's not right
but it's now or never
and if I wait
could I ever forgive myself?
Oh night
When the moon glows yellow in the rip tide
with a laugh
and the TV's buzzing in the house

Cause I'm gonna go to where I came in
and I'm gonna take it behind them
if I ever have the chance its 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

You was the diplomats son
it was '81
You was the diplomats son
it was '81

Dressed in white
with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
I can sleep wherever I lay my head
and the sight
of dishes sitting in the bathtub
let me know
that I shouldn't give up just yet

Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
and I'm gonna pick up behind them
If I ever have the 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

You was the diplomats son
it was '81
You was the diplomats son
it was '81

I hope you said I'm not doing right
I can't go back to how I felt before
That night I smoked a joint
my best friend we found ourselves in bed
when I woke up he was gone

He was the diplomats son
It was '81
He was the diplomats 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
with the wind comes racing off the river
there's a car
all black with diplomatic plates
