The Strokes - In Her Prime lyrics

Well I lived this life, I was just seventeen
And this house was built
On mama's broken dreams i put it all aside
When she looked me in the eye oh

And arrest these teachers for
What they have read
And give all your money to the living dead
Like a call girl in her prime
Arriving just in time oh

I am a sentimental man
I try to reach to God with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you
Oh, he does it too get you by your side
A new way to wave goodbye and I'm waiting
My lady!

And I'm redefining what they
Could not percieve
Upon their big arrival and


They cheat on three
And he took them to his side
And no they could not wait to hide

I am a sentimental man
I try to reach to God with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you
Oh, he does it too keep you by your side
A new way to say goodbye and I'm waiting
My lady!

And I lived this life, I was just seventeen
And this house was built
On mama's broken dreams i put it all aside
And she looked me in the eye
Was I gone for too long?
Did I say something wrong, girl? Will I?
