Vampire Weekend - Connect Lyrics

The memories don't fade, surprisin' fate for days
You elegantly wasted
Before you lost your spark
Took acid in the park
We're livin' in a basement

Now is it strange I can't connect?
It isn't strange, but I could check
Walked around to where we kept the box of wires, and lately

I know once it's lost it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down

I read the parking rules as Amsterdam unspooled
And trucks sped on ephedrine
The things we used to see, the sandhogs in the street
The chickens in her bedroom

Now is it strange I can't connect?
It isn't strange, but I could check
Walked around to where we met the first time, overwhelmed, and

I know once it's lost it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down

Need just a sec'

I know once it's lost, it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down

Need just a sec'

A country asked in June, it's happenin' too soon
Your book of Revelations
We can't unmake the bed, we used the chair instead
And called it a vacation
