Cover art for Threat of Joy lyrics by Strokes, The

I'm gonna take my time to say, "Take my time today" I'm gonna take what comes my way Take what they give me

Yea, I want my money now But he is not around You better hold my money safe... What's your emergency?

And for the first time in my life I'm gonna get myself right

Let's get into trouble Be there on the double

Place your bets this time Decides to let it ride I tried to take a roll But the dice are on parole

I won't look down your dress But you bend down as a test I cannot wait to chase it all Yea, I saw it in my crystal ball

Friday night is hiding like a secret from a spy "I got a better idea," I bet you on the side When I get up in your face you know it's no surprise Baby why's it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes

And for the first time Changing your looks I spent a while deciding for you, my baby doll You ignored your life

Let's do it together I'll be there whenever

You check them in their grave And say, "Thumbs up they're okay" I'm gonna watch the tidal wave It's hard to chase away
