Electricityscape

The Strokes

Oh with strangers to impress so near

Old friends don't realize I'm here

I wish two drinks where always in me

I'd pretend I had the perfect day

Take me to the water

Make me understand

That I was wrong

For me tomorrow is my first day

So please don't tempt me in the wrong way

It's almost after midnight

I can see the city lights, we're here.

Change your mind tonight

You belong to the city now

and you're closer now, I know

You belong on the radio

I swear I'll give it back tomorrow

But for now I think that I'll just borrow

All the chords from that song

And all the words from that other song I heard

Yesterday

Change your mind tonight

You belong to the city now

And you're closer now, I know

You belong on the radio

I will not disturb you

I was just returning you a compliment
