CANCIONES DE THE STROKES

LETRA 'ALONE TOGETHER'

No choice now, it's too late
let him go, he gave up
i gave up
lisa says, "take time for me"
dropping him down to his knees
ah, chest down...
Take me away
see i've got to explain
things, they have changed
in such a permanent way
life seems unreal
can we go back to your place?
oh, "you drink too much"
makes me drink just the same

People tried. felt so right
giving themselves good advice
looking down sometimes felt nice...
He knows it's justified to kill to survive
he then in dollars makes more dead than alive
let's suck more blood, let's run three hours a day
the world is over but i don't care
'cause
I am with you
now i've got to explain
things, they have changed
in such a permanent way
life seems unreal
can we go back to your place?
"you drink too much"
makes me drink just the same
The first time, it happened too fast
the second time, i thought it would last
We all like it a little different...




 'HEART IN A CAGE'

Well I don´t feel better
When I´m fucking around
And I don´t write bitter
When I´m stuck in the ground
So don´t teach me a lesson
Cause I´ve already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh my heart beats in its cage

I don´t want what you want
I don´t feel what you feel
See I´m stuck in a city
But I belong in a field

And we gotta laugh, laugh, laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

Now it´s three in the morning
and you´re eating alone

Oh my heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they´re laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I´m just not quite myself
Look around there´s no one else there
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh you gotta laugh, laugh, laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

I´m sorry you were faking; I would steal your fire.
My heart beats in its cage
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright

And the heart beats in its cage

 'SOMEDAY'

In many ways ill miss the good old days
someday
someday.
it hurts to say but i want you to stay
sometimes
sometimes
when we was young, oh man did we have fun
always
always
promises they break before they're made
sometimes
sometimes
My ex says im lacking in depth
i will do my best
you say you wanna stand by my side
darling your heads not right
i see alone we stand, together we fall apart
yeah i think ill be alright
im working so i wont have to try so hard
tabes they turn sometimes
Oh... someday
i aint wasting no more time
Trying, trying
And now my fears they come to me in threes
so i
sometimes
they fade, my friend, you say the strangest things
i find
sometimes
oh my ex says im lacking in depth
still i will try my best
you say you wanna stand by my side
darling your heads not right
you see alone we stand together we fall apart
yeah i think ill be alright
im working so i wont have to try so hard
tables they turn sometimes
oh someday
still i aint wasting no more time.

 'UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS'


Slip back out of whack att your best.

It's a nightmare,

So I'm joining the army.


Know how folks back out, I still call.

Will you hate for me now?


We got the righteous advice 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

And I won't, I better call you.


So long, my friend and adversary.

But I will call you.


Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best.

Are you OK?

I've been out around this town

And everybody's been singing the same song 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.

I've been saying we're beaten down, I won't say it again.

So long, my end.

The sorry embrace.

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, give it your all.

So long, my friend and adversary.

I'll wait for you
