Under Cover of Darkness Songtext

von 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 still call
Will you wait for me now?

We got the right and if I have 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
They're listening at your door
But I won't, I better call you.

So long my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you.

Get dressed jump out of bed and do it best.
Are you okay?
I've been all around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years.

I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives
In their land of all closed eyes
I've been saying we're beaten down, I won't 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, give it your all
So long, my friend and adversary.

I'll wait for you.
