Lyrics The Strokes

The Strokes

The Adults Are Talking

Then I said

"You're sophisticated"

Men complaining

Overeducated

They are bleeding

All their old excuses

Needs to wish and see

Now they're in your way

Now I'm sitting

By the elevator

We can't help it

If we are a problem

We are sick

Long in the faces

Climbing up your wall

Climbing up that wall

Don't go there because you'll never return

And though you think of me when you think of him

Oh yeah you don't think wrong or rights to do

Because you said it now and you said it's a joke

And then you did something wrong and you said I was right

And then you won't look down and you never realize

And then I won't look down 'cause you want me to

'Cause baby you want me do it the same as you

When I'm teaching

By the door I'm faded

Like Earth's quiet

Quiet strengths you made up

As they're rising

On the streets you're playing

Doing it for me

Doing it for me

And don't hold back 'cause you never look down

And then you think of me if you think of her

'Cause then you think you're smart then we run from thoughts

And then you won't let him see if it falls apart

And then we're falling out the door 'cause you're never alone

And I don't think of him when you're so far gone

And you want me to do it just like you

You want me to do it the same as you

And I don't want anything

No, I am not going

I don't want anyone

Unless it's you

Unless it's

You
