Biography

The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Following the conclusion of five-album deals with RCA and Rough Trade, the band has continued to release new music through Casablancas' Cult Records. The band's debut album, Is This It (2001), was met with widespread critical acclaim and helped usher in the garage rock revival movement of the early 21st century; it was ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone's 100 "Best Debut Albums of All Time", No. 2 on Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the '00s", No. 199 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and No. 4 on NME's "Top 500 Albums of All Time".

LYRICS

He seemed impressed by the way you came in
Tell us a story, I know you're not boring
I was afraid that you would not insist
You sound so sleepy
Just take this, now 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 have changing lanes have ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing
Now I'm not driving fast enough

Now every time that I look at myself
I thought I told you this world is not for you

The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
You sound so angry
Just calm down, you found me
I said, "please don't slow me down"
"Am I 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 have changed
And the lanes have ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing
Now I'm not driving fast enough
