Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey lyrics
[Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey lyrics]
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've made some mistake but, I let it go
Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo) you won't even say Your name
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo)
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?
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey) ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
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 hearts 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 seen the mistakes but You let it go
Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo) you won't even say Your name
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say Your name
You say, "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey) ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
Outside the tents on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool
And the sun went down my soul swooned
As I faintly heard the sound
Of You spinning "Israelites"
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo) you won't even say Your name
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say Your name
Only "I am what I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey) ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
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?
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey) ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
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've made some mistake but, I let it go
Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey
Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo) you won't even say Your name
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ut Deo, Ya Hey)
(Ut Deo, Deo)
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?
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey) ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
Oh, the motherland don't love You
