Juicebox

The Strokes

Everybody sees me, but it's not that easy
Standing in the light field, standing in the light field
Waiting for some action, waiting for some action over
Why won't you come over here?

Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love

Old time grudges
Will die so slowly
I know you miss the
Way I saw you

You're cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold

Nobody can see me, everything's too easy
Standing in the light field, standing in the light field
Waiting for some actress, waiting for some actress to say
"Why won't you come over here?"

Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love

Old time love song
Will die so swiftly
You never trust me
For a while, it was nice
But it's time to say bye

I'm cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
No-no-no, cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
Oh, no-no-no-no, cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
No, no, you're so cold

    Ok this song is just one big "fuck you" to rock stars and celebrities . Julian is talking about how he is sick of the celebrity culture and the shallow relationships that come along with it. The video is making fun of the music industry and shallow people who only care about sex. Thank you and goodnight.

    I think the second time it sounds like he says "Waiting for some actress, waiting for some actress to say 'Why won't you come over here?'" But maybe it's just me.

    I def agree with hallucinogic, this is WAAAAY different from the usual stroke stuff to me, I wonder if the rest of the album is just as radical

    this song is amazing....the whole of the new album is supposed to sound very different but if its as good as this song then i dont care.. this is my new "drive fast" song. the riff is so un-Strokes-ish but as soon as the chorus kicks in its julian back to his brilliant best. now im pissed of coz i have to wait for a few months to here the rest of the album.

    "this is my new "drive fast" song." XD What a coincidence, the Juicebox single art is this: rollingstone.com/reviews/album/_/id/7669808/…
