1.Machu Picchu
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
I'm putting your patience to the test.
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
And didn't you know there was a choice？
It's never yours but someone elses voice.
Slippin' your body through the street.
I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheat.
Wearing a jacket, play the meat.
Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet.
And now you've heard that...
Waves turn to grey.
Life in the shade.
A violent cloud.
And that's on USA.
Running for the rights,
Sleep into the sky.
I'm just trying' to find...
A mountain I can climb.
I'm putting your patience to the test.
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
And didn't you know there was a choice？
It's never yours but someone elses voice.
And now you've seen that...
Waltz on the grey.
Life in the shade.
A violent cloud,
And that's on USA.
Born on the rise.
Circles in the skies.
I'm just tryin' to find...
A mountain I can climb.
Tell us, are you gonna tell us？
Why do we feel so jealous？
Why do we feel so silent？
Why is it always silent？
(I didn't want to ask you baby,
I didn't want you to suffer , and everybody is singing .... )
Why are you waiting？ By the door...
Life turns to dust,
And when it turns to rust.
Gossip is a truth.
(？) lie you took.
And why do you look surprised？
Ever since I'm in the skies.
I'm just tryin' to find,
A space for you and I.
2.Under Cover Of Darkness
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
Slip back out of whack,
At your best.
It's a nightmare,
So I'm joining the army.
Know how folks back out,
I'll still call.
Will you wait for me now？
We've got the right to live, fight to use it,
You've 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 want,
What's better for you.
So long, my friend
And adversary.
Oh, but I will call you.
Get dressed, jump out of bed
You do it best.
Are you OK？
I've been all around this town
Everybody's been singing the same song for ten years.
I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too？
And they sacrifice their lives
In our land of all closed eyes.
I've been saying it a billion times,
And I'll say it again,
So long my adversary and friend.
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 and give it your all.
So long, my friend
And adversary.
Oh I'll be waiting for you.
3.Two Kinds Of Happiness
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
Happiness is two different things：
what you take, and then what you bring.
One is pleasure, one is the flame.
One's devotion one's just deranged.
Inside, I wait..
Let the soul, go up so high
don't waste your life
don't waste your life
to take it from with my love
ones and instance, one takes some will
one you laugh and one that you go
what the for
Inside
Let the soul, go up so high
don't waste your life
Inside
Let the soul, go up so high
don't waste your life

Tell me what happened
Tell me what happened

If you like
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Every night
What are the reasons
What are the reasons

To fall out
I wanna tell you

Nothing
Girl, I am on
At anytime
Girl, I want at any town.

5.Taken For A Fool
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
Sister, visit us while you still can,
Sister, don't you forget my number, on the door.
You've got something and it's so good to see,
Something wonderful that I could not be.
Everybody hanging on for their lives,
But you can't help them 'cos you don't have the time.
I know, everyone goes any damn place they like.
I hope this goes over well, on the toxic radio. Yeah.
You get taken all the time for a fool.
I don't know why.
You're so gullible but I don't mind.
That's not the problem.
And I don't need anyone with me right now.
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend.
You get taken for a fool all the time.
I don't know why.
don't know four words quit putting it on me ,
I can't let you do those things when it means,
It's so early I don't want to wake up.
I wish I left you 'cos we never grew up.
Mama, it feels like just yesterday.
Mama, don't you forget my number
I don't want to be the one at the door.
I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose.
And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio.
Jewish, in the ghetto, not afraid of anything.
Except that, on anything else, that could maybe hurt the most.
Yeah.
You get taken all the time for a fool.
I don't know why.
You're so gullible but I don't mind.
That's not the problem.
And I don't need anyone with me right now.
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend.
You get taken all the time for a fool.
I don't know why.
You get taken all the time for a fool.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
6.Games
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
With all the noise above
He tried to call his name,
The trial would go on,
The day has just begun!
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
The diamond cuts her eye
The crowd behind went wild
They weren't all that proud
By now they hear it loud
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
Living in an empty world!
I'm ok, I'm alright
I was out late last night
Empty love, Empty life
I will wait one more night
7.Call Me Back
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
wait time is the worst
i can hardly sit
no one has the time
someone is always late
i look for you
and you look for me, whoa, ohh
i don't know why i came down
i hold your phone, don't wake up
i hear a voice, in the ground
tell me, don't tell me
the hard part is telling me
something that you are not likely to telling
tell me, don't tell me
the hard part is telling me
something that you are not likely to telling
wait time is to blame
i thought fame was a trip
we all have the time
someone is always feared
i look for you
and you look away, ohh
i don't know why i came down
i hold your phone, don't wake up
i hear a voice in the ground
(tell me, don't tell me
the hard part is telling
something that you are not likely to tell you)
waiting up is so much fun to do
80s movies make out party ？
8.Gratisfaction
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
Oh baby don't you be so mad because I barely remember
As she tried to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in
December
As she stands, I realize that it is actually not a good thing
And it's so tough because you're down to go out or
in but never another adventure
All her friends in the alley way shout back, she can't hear them
But you're never gonna get my love
We can only play in the sand
Get up in the morning and run
You'll be frustrated 'till the day that you're done
He got punched in the mouth for sticking his nose in other
peoples business
No good solution though he's on the verge of some revolution
Well tough luck it may take a thousand years but I think we
could do it
There's been fight but they've never enjoy life as
good as when they abuse it
Is it disorder, is it necessity ... yeah
But you're never gonna get the love
We can only fight in the sand
You get tired when the days are too long
You get lonely when the days are gone
He could never mention it out here and now without quick tears
in his eyes
Cos you're never gonna get my love
We can only play in the sun
You get tired when the days are too long
You get lonely when the days are gone
Oh you're never gonna get this love
We can roll around in the dark
That's about as far as we go
Get up in the morning and run
9.Metabolism
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
I wanna be outrageous
but inside I know I'm plain
So plain, just plain
Boring and plain.
Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial
I wanna be somebody, wanna be somebody like you
Like you...
Like you...
Like you instead of me
Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone I guess
Trying for the perfect life
End up being in denial
10.Life Is Simple In The Moonlight
Lyricist：The Strokes
Writer(s)：The Strokes
Animals on TV singing about something that they once felt
There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the
phone
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and
alone
So we talk about ourselves and how
To forget the love we never felt
Oh, we owed jokes that work so well
You never were so sure, was the moment
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I
see
She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly
he stares at her thighs
Animals on TV singing about something they felt at some point
I wanted to tell you it was better, better, better, but what's
the point？
As I watched the bell with drapes appear
And I don't withclose for fourty years
'cause we hide what we don't wanna hear
As we hide what's real, hear, hear
He is coming from a part of hell
Where like Nanbu I don't go down well
He can't tell that when oblivion
It's a ditch strung out, routine as well
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
In that sense I tell in America today
There's a crack, just like going out westward
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop me
Get out of the way
