Lyrics The Strokes

The Strokes

Threat of Joy

Okay, I see how it is now

You don't have time to play with me anymore

That's how it goes, I guess

Fuck the rest

Be right there, honey

I'm gonna take my time to say

Take my time today

I'm gonna take what comes my way

Take what they give me

Yeah, I want my money now

But he is not around

You better hold my money safe

What's your emergency?

And for the first time in my life

I'm gonna get myself right

Just get into trouble

Be there on the double

I place your bets this time

Just has to let it ride

I tr-I tried to take a roll

But the dice are on parole

I won't look down your dress

I bet you bend down as a test

I cannot wait to chase it all

Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball

Friday night, the shining light

The secret for a spy

I got a better idea

I'll bet you on the side

When I get up in your face

You know it's no surprise

Ah baby, why is it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes?

And for the fourth time

Chains on your legs

I spent a while

Then decided on you

My baby doll

You ignored your life

We'll do it together

I'll be there whenever

Oh, you took a minute break

And said, "Thumbs up, they're okay"

I'm gonna watch the tidal wave

It's hard to chase away

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh

(Got to chase away)

(Hard to chase away)

(It's hard to chase away)
