The Strokes - Reptilia

He seemed impressed by the way you came in.

"Tell us a story
I know you're not boring"

I was afraid that you would not insist.
"You sound so sleepy
just take this, now leave me"

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

Now every time that I look at myself
"I thought I told you
this world is not for you"

The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
"you sound so angry
just calm down, you found me"

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

The Strokes - Automatic Stop

So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast

Didn't understand what to see
Yeah, then I got a different view
It's you... no.

Wait, I'm gonna give it a break.
I'm not your friend,
I never was.
I said wait, I'm gonna give it a break.
I'm not your friend,
I never was.

So many fish there in the sea
She wanted him, he wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast

Yeah, I know you warned me
But this is too important
Now I got a different view
It's you...

Why can't you wait?
I'm gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend,
I never was
I said wait, I'm gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend,
I never was.

The Strokes - The End Has No End

One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secrets of the government
That's keeping you dumb
Oh, it's the other way around
Wait, what's that sound?
One by one, baby, here they come

He wants it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
Two steps forward then three steps back, alright

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
But can't you find some other guy? Oh no
1 9 6 9 what's that sound? Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end

He wants it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
Two steps forward then three steps back, it won't be easy

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
But can't you find another guy?, Oh no
1 9 6 3 what's that sound?, Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end

The Strokes - 12:51

Talk to me now I'm older
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and then phone me

We could go and get 40s
Fuck goin' to that party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me

12:51 is the time my voice
Found the words I sought...
Is it this stage I want?

The world is shutting out... for us.
We were tense for sure,
But we was confident...

Kiss me now that I'm older
I won't try to control you
Friday nights have been lonely
Take it slow but don't warn me

We'd go out and get 40s
Then we'd go to some party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright I'm coming...

I'll be right there.
