di The Strokes

Some people think they're always right.
Others are quiet and uptight.
Others they seem so very nice (nice nice nice oh-ho).
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no).

Twenty-nine different attributes.
Only seven that you like (oh-ho).
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho).
Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho).

(Oh don't don't) Don't get up.
I can't see the sunshine.
I'll be waiting for you baby,
'Cause I'm through.
Sit me down.
Shut me up.
I'll calm down
and I'll get along with you.

Oh men don't notice what they got.
Women think of that a lot.
One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho).
Not even one requires a plan (I know).

(And) Countless odd religions too.
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no).
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho).
This I've tried, and now refuse (oh-ho).

(Don't don't) Don't get up.
I can't see the sunshine.
I'll be waiting for you baby,
'Cause I'm through.
Sit me down.
Shut me up.
I'll calm down
and I'll get along with you.

(Alright)

Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you...
Il tuo voto:
Everybody sees me
But it's not that easy
Standing in the light field
Standing in the light field
Waiting for some action
Waiting for some action

No but why won't you come over here

Why won't you come over here
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here
We got a city to love

Oh time grudges
We die so slowly
I know you miss the way I saw you
And cold
Yes I'm cold
You're so cold
You're so cold

Nobody can see me
Everything is too easy
Standing in the light field
Standing in the light field
Waiting for some actress
Waiting for some actress
To say why won't you come over here
Why won't you come over here
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here
We got a city to love

Oh time love songs
We die so swiftly

You never trust me
For a while it was nice but it's time to say bye
Oh cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold

No no no no
Cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold

Oh no no no no
Cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
Il tuo voto:
Well I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around
And I don't write bitter
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
When I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left

Now it's three in the morning
And you're eating alone

Oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends they're laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite my self
Look around there's no one else there
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Yes I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire.
Oh the heart beats in its cage
Il tuo voto:
oh the razor blade
that's what I call her,
I bet you'd pick it up and mess around with it
if I put it down
it gets extremely complicated
anything to forget everything

got to take me out,
at least once a week
whether I'm in your arms,
or I'm at your feet.
I know exactly what you're thinking
you won't say it now
but in your heart it's love

oh, no my feelings are more important than yours
oh, drop dead, i don't care
I won't worry

there you go

oh, the razor blade,
wish it would snap this rope
the world is in your hand
or it's at your throat
at times it's not that complicated
anything to forget everything

he would never talk,
but he was not shy
she was a street-smart girl,
but she could not lie
they were perfect for each other
say it now
'cause in your heart it's love

oh, no my feelings are more important than yours
oh, drop dead, i don't care
I won't worry


Sweetheart,
your feelings are more important of course (of course)
everyone that wanted
everything that we would take from them
I don't wanna know, i don't wanna know
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
no, don't, okay.
Il tuo voto:
I'm tired of everyone I know
Of everyone I see
On the street
And on TV, yeah

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side

I hate them all, I hate them all
I hate myself
For hating them
So drink some more
I'll love them all
I'll drink even more
I'll hate them even more than I did before

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side

I remember when you came
You taught me how to sing
Now, it seems so far away
You taught me how to sing

I'm tired of being so judgmental
Of everyone
I will not go to sleep
I will train my eyes to see
In my mind is this blood as a birch on a tree

On the other side
On the other side
I know what's waiting for me
On the other side

On the other side
On the other side
I know you're waiting for me
On the other side
Il tuo voto:
Sing me a song, you could be
Tell me a tale, just like me
To turn in my way, happy and free
I'll try not to shake, happy and free

Oh ooh

All that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you
I can't get along with all your friends
Don't know how to act
Its all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what you change
But now it went away
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?

I am not you, we can have
Fun almost thru, great success
It's about time, such a success
But you came thru, no expense

Oh ooh

All that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you
I can't get away from all your friends
I'm not coming back
Its all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what you take
But now it went away
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
Il tuo voto:
Right, wrong, what to do
Someday it will come to you
Hostile Indians
We named out summer camp for you

I've got nothing to say(x7)
I'm in utter dismay
I've got nothing to say

Harmless children
We named our soldiers after you
Don't be a coconut
God is trying to talk to you
We could drag it out
But that's for other bands to do

I've got nothing to say(x4)
I've got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
But I will fight to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy

I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead

But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say(x3)
I've got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
Oh I will kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy
Il tuo voto:
Oh with strangers to impress so near
Old friends don't realize I'm here
I wish two drinks were always in me
I'd pretend I had the perfect ear.

Take me to the water
Make me understand that I was wrong.

For me tomorrow is my first day
So please don't tempt me in the wrong way

It's almost after midnight
I can see the city lights, we're here

Change your mind tonight
You belong to the city now
And you're closer now, I know
You belong on the radio

I swear I'll give it back tomorrow
But for now I think that I'll just borrow
All the chords from that song
And all the words from that other song I heard
Yesterday

Change your mind tonight
You belong to the city now
And you're closer now, I know
You belong on the radio

I will not disturb you
I was just returning you
The compliment.
Il tuo voto:
Fire a press now
Don't you skate now
You broke sailboat
We might get some
We might get some
Hands troublesome
But don't you worry
You can help me

Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies

First you worry
Then you'll hurry
Don't think that everything is gonna stay the same
That's impossible
Before I let you go
Let me look at you
Don't you worry
You will help me

Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies

Oh yes I know you're still
You are a friend of mine
Oh yes I know you're still
You are a friend of mine
Il tuo voto:
How did anybody find out where I was?
How did anybody find that out?
I was hiding from the world, I was a squirrel
But you chopped down my tree to get my fur.

Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Ooh Fear of sleep
Can't you wait
I'm not done
Fear of sleep
Here you come
Fear of sleep x3
You're no fun x10

I guess everybody's week must have been pretty rough.
Cause everybody's drunk, loud, and pissed off,
I know you hate to impressed by someone else, other than yourself
But you know trying to hold back on being an asshole helps.

Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Fear of sleep
Where'd you go?
Fear of sleep
Ooh Fear of sleep
So you know
I'm not done
Here we go
Here you come
For I sleep x3
You're no fun x17
Il tuo voto:
I was all just a dream, Oh no
The worst it was real
All my pets they were there and they smiled
Take a seat it looks fine

Everybody so inviting

They got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say
Time will turn them into jokes

If it was all just a dream, Oh no
Was it real? I don't know
If it was you were on there with me
Overjoyed in a peach

Oh Get, Get a pain, Get a watch
It was like a moonlight in life
I saw worst in a stop liner cuz
It go fast aint got time is been shot
Everybody got to party
Should've waiting for me
Everybody got to party
Should've waited till way
Cause today they talk about us
And tomorrow they won't care

Is a life is it a dream I can't tell
I got up and I wait in a throw
I will call you up every day
Overjoyed in a case

First time around
Second take so long
Third time's the charm
Second falls
Five days to rehearse
Six American work
Seven's in a scale
Eight circum change
Nine intoxicate
Ten is you & friend
Eleven seconds there
Because twelve make you goooaa
Il tuo voto:
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

Your sad but you smile
It's not in your eyes
Your eyeballs won't change
It's the muscles around your eyes

An egg to fertilize
A pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize
A life to scrutinize
A child to criticize
Young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize
Generations to desensitize

Your dreams are sweet and obsessed
And your overworked
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)
Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
Or do my thoughts just live
As free and detached
As boats to the dock?

Just like when music was born
And detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds
Or for falling apart?

Night after night
You turn out the light
You don't fall asleep right away
Are we... are we done?

A desk to organize
A product to advertise
A market to monopolize
Movie stars you idolize
Leaders to scandalize
Enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize
Fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize
Cities to vapor-i
Il tuo voto:
They love you or they hate you
Cause they will never let you be
They thrill you or sedate you
But they will never let you see

Amber evening sun
Amber evening sun

In parent and deranged you
Watch you walking scared along
Despite intimidation
Used to watch you dance along

Amber evening sun
Amber evening sun

Call you a sappy whiner
Someday you'll come back and I'll be dreaming of a sundown
I don't wanna make your heart
And break your heart in two halves
Give point and forget, fun have to meet
Eye of the sun, miss you so much
Tell me what you do, nothing will do

All actors they're pretending
And singers they sometimes lie
Oh kids are always honest
Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die
You're the prettiest smartest captain of the team
I love you more than being seventeen

Amber evening sun
Amber evening sun
Il tuo voto:
Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation that has nothing to say
How to make your way to me

Oh let's say you made a deal with me
And I got your name and your on my chest
And you're all dressed up with your big red belt
And you almost said you might need help
I could drop you off at the next red light
If it don't make sense or it don't feel right

All the girls could never make the love in the way I love you

Can't you see the sky is not the limit no more?
I can see the elevator crashed in the floor
I can still see yesterday sailing away
Seven billion people who got nothing to say
Oh you can't belong to me

Oh I saw your face and I heard that song
It was so inviting and hurt my bones
Well it looks like you but your eyes are grey
And your hair is gone but your mind's okay
Yes I like your smile but your forehead's cold
I don't want you to be afraid and go

I would cheat and lie and steal now stay I'll only kneel for you

I was waiting
For my baby, to arrive
Right by my side

Oh please
Leave me alone tonight
Forget the past

Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Oh you know I said it just to get you to lie
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation of entertainers to blame

Light is red
Camera's on
Get yourself a lawyer and a gun
Hate your friends be friends like everyone
Try to think you're so competitive
Oh the sky is not the limit
And you never gonna guess what is, oh..
