Won't decide
But he won't debate Said, "Thanks my friend" But he was too late Oh why, oh why I don't know So you think things move Pretty fast down here Well just wait my dear Till you look up there Oh maybe someday You'll know Had his second kid, Was an early night Got to be well dressed 'Cause he hates to fly Oh loves his job Takes it home Anything they wanted They could have it, have it Didn't even notice I don't mind it, mind it Won't decide But he won't debate Said, "Thanks my friend Thought that we was dead" Oh why, oh why I don't know Think things move Pretty fast down here But just wait my dear Till we get up there Oh maybe someday They'll know Come on tell me Does she wander Roam when he comes Or does he just know How to leave When it gets cold Well I don't care I don't care 'Cause it's free |

Up on a hill
here's where we begin This little story long time ago Stop to pretend stop pretending It seems this game is simply never ending Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving I feel so different now we tried to deviate We should learn to stay My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving |

Soma is what they would take
when hard times opened their eyes Saw pain in a new way High stakes for a few names Racing against sunbeams Losing against their dreams In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes When I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed Heard something in his voice And i'll be there, he says and he walks out Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them And I am Stop, and go In your eyes, and I am Stop and darling let me go Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it Says I've been doing this twenty-five years Well I'm not listening no more And these friends they keep asking for more Oh yeah Oh but thats it |

I think I know what you mean
but watch what you say 'cause they'll be trying 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 and search 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. You're sad but you smile. It's not in your eyes. Your eyeballs don'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. You're dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked. You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked. How disappointed would D.(edad) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hiosophers) 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 to idolize, Leaders to scandalize, Enemies to neutralize, No time to apologize, Fury to tranquilize, Weapons to synchronize, Cities to vaporize. |

Two can be complete without the rest of the world Two if hardy people that have died for sake An entire generation that has nothing to say How to make your way to me Oh last night 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 that 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 want you to forever know These guys have all got problems These guys have all got their problems Today, you've come, now go away I know it gets so confusing Sometimes, it all seems to drag me down Then, when I'm getting closer So close, everything just falls apart When will you stop and see me through?

from The Strokes - Heart In A Cage (2006)
Ten decisions shape your life,
you'll be aware of 5 about, 7 ways to go through school, either you're noticed or left out, 7 ways to get ahead, 7 reasons to drop round, when i said ' I can see me in your eyes', you said 'I can see you in my bed', that's not just friendship that's romance too, you like music we can dance to, Sit me down, Shut me up, i'll calm down, and i'll get along with you, There is a time when we all fail, some people take it pretty well, some take it all out on themselves, some they just take it out on friends, oh everybody plays the game, and if you don't you're called insane, Don't don't don't don't it's not safe no more, i've got to see you one more time, soon you were born, in 1984, Sit me down, shut me up, i'll calm down, and i'll get along with you, Everybody was well dressed, and everybody was a mess, 6 things without fail you must do, so that your woman loves just you, oh all the girls played mental games, and all the guys were dressed the same, Why not try it all, if you only remember it once, oooh ooooooh, Sit me down, shut me up, i'll calm down, and i'll get along with you, (okay one more time) |
