Fast Animals Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Yeah, you don't have to be so loud
Everyone can hear you in this whole damn crowd
Don't have to try so hard
I think they got the message, you were out of your mind
It's not so good to see you this upset
But the next generation will forget
[Chorus]
They're always scared of where their daughters been
Cause who knows, they could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again
Is it gone? Gone?
[Verse 2]
Don't have to lick my face
Everyone can see that you're a psycho in this place
That the next generation will forget
[Bridge]
Where their daughter's been
Or who knows, they could be alone with men
They're never gonna let you understand
Or show you what it is to be a man
You don't wanna sit down and talk and hear
You don't think anyone is in your ear
I never wanna see your face
Accuse - it's no ones fault
Is it gone?
Gone?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Gone, gone
They're always scared of where their daughter's been
Cause who knows, they could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again
[Outro]
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's gone, gone
I hope that, that, that it's gone
About
“Fast Animals” is the alternate version of the track “Slow Animals” from The Strokes' fifth album, Comedown Machine. It was featured as the B-side on the 7" release of the All The Time EP in February 2013.
The song has a considerably sped-up vocal track when compared to the original. The lyrical content mostly remains the same, apart from the reordering of lines and an altered refrain. It was written by Julian Casablancas and guitarist Nick Valensi.
“Fast Animals” was also a bonus twelvth track on the Japanese release of Comedown Machine, and remains, to date, the only bonus track on any studio album by The Strokes. Coincidentally, Comedown Machine has a track called “Welcome to Japan.”
