Julian Casablancas - Left & Right In The Dark



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 going to take all day though

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 must she wait, how long must you stay



Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Wake up

Wake up 



I am ashamed I think maybe 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 were they thinking

'Cause I think

I think it too



Sliding across the Indian wilderness

Like the wind riding down sore throats

Six a.m now you're in Hollywood

And you're dancing, we made it

We are turning with the earth so fast

That it feels a lot slower



And it's not going to take all day though

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



Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Wake up

Wake up 



Your Achilles heel is you like to feel your fingers on the wheel

Some live in the bottle, some live in the zoo

With the director and the actor and the crew and the viewers

Boys get their toys and girls got their dolls and

Nothing much gets easier in the final stages



Are you spending today as the same

As your life in corruption and temper in the way



Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Oh wake up 

Wake up 

Wake up

Wake up
