These lyrics had more meaning before he cut out some of the song.

REPTILIA (Old version)

I was impressed by the way you came in "Tell us a story I know you're not boring" He seemed surprised by the way you came in "You sound so sleepy Just fuck off and leave me" I said please don't slow me down If I'm going too fast You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over You're not trying hard enough, Our lives are changing lanes, yeah You ran me off the road, The wait is over I'm now taking over, You're no longer needed I'm not coming over

Somehow they says as she looks at her man "You don't understand me So stand by and let me"

Now they walk out and his girlfriend arrives! "You sound so angry Just calm down, you found me" I said please don't slow me down If I'm going too fast You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over You're not trying hard enough, Our lives are changing lanes, yeah You ran me off the road, The wait is over I'm now taking over, You're no longer needed I'm not trying hard enough...

@Noah the Great Where are these lyrics from? I like this version better; they tell the story better and I think our band will use these lyrics when we cover this song. (but I feel like we should know where they came from if we're going to use them)
