Threat Of Joy Lyrics - Future Present Past Ep - Strokes

[Verse ] 

Okay 

I see how it is now 

You don't have time to play with me anymore 

That's how it goes, I guess 

Fuck the rest 

Be right there honey! 

I'm gonna take my time to say 

Take my time today 

I'm gonna take what comes my way 

Take what they give me 

Yeah, I want my money now 

But he is not around 

You better hold my money safe 

What's your emergency? 

[Chorus] 

And for the first time in my life 

I'm gonna get myself right 

Just get into trouble 

Be there on the double 

Place your bets this time 

Just has to let it ride 

I tr-I tried to take a roll 

But the dice are on parole 

I won't look down your dress 

Bet you bend down as a test 

I cannot wait to chase it all 

Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball 

Friday night, the shining light 

The secret for a spy 

I got a better idea 

I'll bet you on the side 

When I get up in your face 

You know it's no surprise 

Ah baby, why's it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes? 

[Chorus 2] 

And for the fourth time 

Chains on your legs 

I spent a while 

Then decided on you 

My baby doll 

You ignored your life 

We'll do it together 

I'll be there whenever 

Oh, you took a minute break 

And said, "thumbs up, they're okay." 

I'm going to watch the tidal wave 

It's hard to chase away 

Ohhhhhh 

Ohhhhhh 

(Got to chase away) 

(Hard to chase away) 

(It's hard to chase away)
