All The Time

The Strokes · Comedown Machine [2013]

Those that try anything once

Should we care about the only ones?

All the time that I need is never quite enough

All the time that I have is all that's necessary

You're livin' it up,

You're livin' it up,

You're living too fast,

You gotta pray for the best

You never ask why,

You never ask why,

You're livin' it up,

Maybe you're flying too high

No one talks, about the horror

On my block, or by the shore

I'm all alone in a room,

Do you want what I want too?

All the time in the world

Is all that's necessary

You're livin' it up,

You're livin' it up,

You're living too fast,

You gotta pray for the best

You never ask why,

You never ask why,

You're livin' it up,

Baby you're flying too high

You never ask why,

You never ask why,

You're livin' it up,

Baby you're flying too high

Don't get on the phone

Don't reach for the door

You know the answer that you're looking for

You're livin' it up,

You're livin' it up,

You're living too fast,

You gotta pray for the best

You never ask why,

You never ask why,

You're livin' it up,

Baby you're flying too high
