Vampire Weekend - Holiday lyrics

[Verse 1] Holiday, oh, a holiday And the best one of the year Dozing off underneath my sheets While I cover both my ears [Chorus] But if I wait for a holiday Could it stop my fears? To go away on a summer's day Never seemed so clear [Verse 2] Holiday, still so far away A republic on the beach I can't forget just how bad it gets When I'm counting on my teeth [Chorus] But if I wait for a holiday Could it stop my fears? To go away on a summer's day Never seemed so clear [Bridge] A vegetarian since the invasion She'd never seen the word 'bombs' She'd never seen the word 'bombs' Blown up to 96-point Futura She'd never seen an AK In a yellowy Day-Glo display A T-shirt so lovely, it turned all the history books grey [Verse 3] I got wheels, I got Cutter spray And a healthy sense of worth Half of me is the gasoline But the other half's the surf [Chorus] But if I wait for a holiday Could it stop my fears? To go away on a summer's day Never seemed so clear
