The Strokes – Tap Out lyrics
[Verse 1]
They found our city under the water
Gotta get my hands on something new
You don't want to be without this
Something isn't adding up

[Hook]
Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why

Someone
Didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

They found our city under the water
I began to listen to your eyes
You don't want to live without it
Even others, they'd abide

[Hook]

Someone
Didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

Someone
I didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why
I don't listen
And I don't speak
Well, it's a talent
I don't know why
