Diplomat's Son (Album: "Contra" (2010)) (VAMPIRE WEEKEND LYRICS)





.
It�s not right but it�s now or never
And if I wait could I ever forgive myself?

On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
With the light from the TVs buzzing in the house

Cuz I�m gonna cut it where I can
And then I�m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a 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

He was a diplomat�s son
It was �81

Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
I could sleep wherever I lay my head

And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
Let me know that I shouldn�t give up just yet

Cuz I�m gonna take it from Simon
And then I�m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a 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

He was a diplomat�s son
It was �81

I know, you�ll say
I�m not doing it right
But this is how I want it

I can�t go back
To how I felt before�

That night I smoked a joint
With my best friend
We found ourselves in bed
When I woke up he was gone

He was the diplomat�s 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 when the wind comes racing off the river
There�s a car all black with diplomatic plates
