THE STROKES LYRICS - Soma

"Soma"



Soma is what they would take when

Hard times opened their eyes

Saw pain in a new way

High stakes for a few names

Racing against sun beams

Losing against their dreams

In your eyes



And I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes

See I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes



Let's go



When I saw her for the first time

Lips moved as her eyes closed

Heard something in his voice

"And I'll be there", he says

Then he walks out

Somehow he was trying

Too hard to be like them



Well I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes

And I am

Stop

Oh, darling, let me go



Tried it once and they like it

Then tried to hide it

Says, "I've been doing this 25 years"

But I'm not listening no more

And these friends, they keep asking for more

Oh, yeah

Oh, but that's it
