Julian Casablancas - River of Brakelights lyrics

We might be in for a late night
Stuck in a lava flow of brake lights
I can hear a rattling bass drum driving
Back to where it came from sit back

I shop therefore I am the cause
Protect me from what I was

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang
Of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang
Of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, timing is
Everything, timing is everything
Timing is everything
Timing is everything, timing is everything
I'm at your feet, where critters meet
Who should be asleep and not
Crossing roads or highways
In the afterlife of super cities
Rapidly devouring it's outskirts
It's neon octopus arms redecorating
Late at night

Robot camp for kids who hate sports
Mothers crying at the airport
Finding the dreams you left behind to do
Waving goodbye your young heart cries for you
Sit back

You're finding it hard to get very far
But we were born waiting in line
Grabbing the future by the eyes

Getting the hang of it, getting the
Hang of it, timing is everything
Timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, timing is
Everything, getting the hang of it
Timing is everything
Timing the hang of it, getting is everything
Getting the time of it
Everything hangs on this
Hanging the getting of, timing the everything

Like batteries we die, like rivers we dry
We fuel and recharge, that's humans and cars
My fun, my sun, be my homework done
Where did you go, you were my ride home

Is that what we want, is everything shot
Is that what you ask for
Cause that's what we got?

Nothing stands still nothing stands still
