Vampire Weekend The Surfer

AlphabetLyrics.com

Back on the island
Water tunnel three
Cage ascending
Someone looks like me
Look up at fingers
Reaching into space
A roman soldier's spearhead
Jammed above the waist.

Heard someone speaking
A voice without a face
The ocean's churning
The cables stay in place
An operation
The locals couldn't save
An undercover agent
Drowned beneath the waves.

Outside the confines of a super-mini's door
There's a california king
Placed directly on the floor
Oh, the surfer can't forget
The shells around his neck
But you were born beneath fluorescent lights
You've never seen a starry night
You saint.

Fake fortune teller
Scandalized by fate
Broke bodybuilder
Crushed beneath the weight
Lost and deluded
Trying to find your place
Inept long-distance runner
Losing every race.

Outside the confines of a super-mini's door
There's a california king
Placed directly on the floor
Oh, the surfer can't forget
The shells around his neck
But you were born beneath fluorescent lights
You've never seen a starry night
You saint.
