The Strokes - Welcome to Japan Lyrics

If we don't watch the sun
It will rise
If we don't take our time
It's not wise
Putting posters up
For your band
(Hey, we're playing a gig tonight if you wanna come by)
Now I'll tear them down
With my hand

I didn't wanna notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?

Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over

Oh, welcome to Japan
Scuba-dancing, touchdown

I didn't wanna notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
I didn't want to bore you
Didn't wanna pick up your shit for ya
I've been ready to do this
I'll be there

Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over (I don't mind)
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder (I don't mind)
As we're fallin' over

You did it alone, you did it for fun
You did it for everyone who's on the run
You're not just a friend, you'll be born again
We'll be in this race until the very end
He lives on the phone, he cheats on his clone
You'll never believe me 'til you're on your own
Comes in once a month and he never leaves
He said he is broken, yet he lives free

Didn't wanna floor ya
I didn't wanna be there for ya
I didn't wanna warn ya
I'll be there
