Strokes Reptilia lyrics

Songwriters: Casablancas, Julian

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
Now I'm taking over
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough

(perfect solo)


Now everytime 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 changin lanes
You ran me off the road
The wait is over
Now I'm taking over
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough
