left & right in the dark

Singer:casablancas, julian

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 gonna take all day long

watching the urban decay all around us

oh boy

and i'm on my way on somewhere

feels like i'm going left and right in the dark

how long must we wait

how long must this take?

wake up

i'm ashamed i think maybe sometimes

i might have used tricks to make you like me more

when i found you i was running wld

let's get outta here

and let's travel there

i wanna know what are you baby

'cause i think

i think you don't know

sliding across the indian wildnerness

like the wind gliding down soft roads. 6am and you're in hollywood

and you're dancing

we made it

we are turning back the earth so fast

that it feels a lot slower

and it's not gonna take all day long

watching the urban decay all around us

oh boy

and i'm on my way on somewhere

feels like i'm going left and right in the dark

how long will it take

to fix what they break

wake up

your achilles heel is you like to feel

your fingers on the wheel

some live in a palace some live in the sewer. the director

the actor

the crew and the viewer. boys get their toys and girls get their dolls and

nothing much gets easier in the final stages

how you're spending the day is the same as your life. and you're watching the time run away. wait up

wake up
