Lyrics Threat of Joy - The Strokes

Threat of Joy

Okay, I see how it is now
You don’t have time to play with me anymore
That’s how it goes, I guess
Fuck the rest
Be right there, honey!
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
Yeah, 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
Just get into trouble
Be there on the double
Place your bets this time
Just has to let it ride
I tr- I tried to take a roll
But the dice are on parole
I won’t look down your dress
I bet you bend down as a test
I cannot wait to chase it all
Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball
