1227. Under cover of darkness - The Strokes





Slip back out of whack at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining the army

No house phones, but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?

We got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string

Don't go that way
I'll wait for you

And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
I want what's better for you

So long, my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you

Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best
Are you okay?
I've been out around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years

I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives
In our land are all closed eyes
They've said it a billion times and they'll say it again
So long, my adversary and friend

Don't go that way
I'll wait for you

I'm tired of all your friends
Knocking down your door
Get up in the morning, yelling no more
So long, my friend and adversary
I'll wait for you
