River of Brakelights Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Goetia 

Cover art for River of Brakelights lyrics by Julian Casablancas

We might be here 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 on 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 You should be a secret not crossing roads or highways In the afterlife of supercities, rapidly devouring it's outskirts its me or an octopus arm redecorating late at night

Robot games 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, oh You're finding it hard to get very far 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 bodies we die like rivers we dry We fuel and recharge the chimers and doors I fall on my side, gleam my homeward bound 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

Life is destined Life is destined

My Opinion
