Rhythm Song Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm tired, so lost, so left alone, yeah
Surrounded by the stones I've thrown
Arriving just in time to see the earth destroyed, yeah
I said drag me there, or just take me home

[Chorus]
Oh, reunited, everybody was just here
Oh, I just did this for you, oh

[Verse 2]
Protected by the saints in all 50 states
American minds destined to be great
I'm from around here so I should know, yeah
Blame it on the eskimos

[Chorus]
Yeah, do I look ready?
Forget it, I'm ready
Oh, I'm on my way out of here

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm here, yes
Yeah, come on, you stood on us
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
I'm tired, I'm lost, so left alone, yeah
Surrounded by the stones I've thrown
Arriving just in time to see the earth destroyed, yeah
Drag me there, or just take me home

[Chorus]
Oh, forget it
I'm ready, I'm ready
Oh baby, oh, meet me on the way

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Even at the beginning of the band, The Strokes were still learning their own sound and how their sounds fit together. Among the demos before the first official album, The Strokes made this song to sound like The Doors.
