Threat of Joy
The Strokes

[Intro]

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!


[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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

I bet you bend down as a test

I cannot wait to chase it all

Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball


[Bridge]

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 first 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


[Verse 3]

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


[Outro]

Ohhhhhh

Ohhhhhh

Ohh ohh


(Got to chase away)

(Hard to chase away)

(It’s hard to chase away)
