Lyrics Julian Casablancas

Julian Casablancas

River of Brakelights

We might be in for a late night

Stuck in a lava flow of brakelights

I can hear a rattling bass drum

Driving back to where it came from

Sit back on

I shop therefore I am the cause

Protect me from what I was

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Timing is everything, timing is everything

I'm at your feet where critters meet

Who should be asleep and not crossing roads or highways

In the afterlife of super cities, rapidly devouring its outskirts

Its neon octopus arms redecorating late at night

Robot camp for kids who hate sports

Mothers crying at the airport

Finding the dreams you left behind to do

Waving goodbye your young heart cries for you

Sit back on

You're finding it out to get very far

We were born waiting in line

Grabbing the future by the eyes

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Getting the hang of it, timing is everything

Getting the hang of it, timing is everything

Timing the hang of it, getting is everything

Getting the time of it, everything hangs on this

Hanging the getting of, timing the getting of

Like batteries we die, like rivers we dry

We fuel and recharge, that's humans and cars

My fun, my sun, be my homework done

Where did you go, you were my ride home

Is that what we want?

Is everything shot?

Is that what you ask for?

'Cause that's what we got

Nothing stands still

Nothing stands still
