Julian Casablancas

Running in the parking lot, I'm four years old
I am lost, those were the days
The soft murmur of voices in the other room
Comforting you, as you fall asleep
Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by
We're in a race against time
And time might be winning
And it's not gonna take all day long
Watchin' the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I'm on my way, oh, somewhere
Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark
How long must you wait
How long must you stay
Wake up (x8)
I understand that there may be sometimes
I might have used tricks to make you like me more
When I found you I was running wild
Let's get outta here, what's the trouble there?
I wanna know what are you thinking
'Cause I think, I think it too
Sliding across the Indian wilderness
Like the wind, riding down sore throats
6am now you're in Hollywood
And you're dancing, we made it
We are turning with the Earth so fast
But it feels a lot slower
And it's not gonna take all day long
Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I'm on my way, oh, somewhere
Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark
How long will it take
To fix what can't break
Wake up (x8)
Your Achilles heel is you like to feel
Your fingers on the wheel
Some live in a palace, some live in the zoo
With the director and the actor and the crew and the viewers
Boys get their toys and girls get their dolls and
Nothing much else changes in the final stages
How you're spending today is the same as your life
And you're watching the time running away
Wait up (x8)
Wake up (x8)
