Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey lyrics

rate me

Oh, sweet thing

Zion doesn’t love you

And Babylon don’t love you

But you love everything

Oh, you saint

America don’t love you

So I could never love you

In spite of everything

In the dark of this place

There’s the glow of your face

There’s the dust on the screen

Of this broken machine

And I can’t help but feel

That I made some mistake

But I let it go

Ya hey, ya hey

Ya hey, ya hey

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Only I am that I am

But who could ever live that way?

Oh, the motherland don’t love you

The fatherland don’t love you

So why love anything?

Oh, good god

The faithless, they don’t love you

The zealous heart don’t love you

And that’s not gonna change

All the cameras and files, all the paranoid styles

All the tension and fear

Of a secret career

And I can’t help but feel

That you see the mistakes

But you let it go

Ya hey, ya hey

Ya hey, ya hey

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Say I am that I am

But who could ever live that way?

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Through the fire and through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Say I am that I am

But who could ever live that way?
