Reptilia

About Reptilia

"Reptilia" is a song by indie rock band the Strokes, and was the second single from their second album, Room on Fire. In the U. S., it peaked at number 19 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It fared better in the UK, however, where it reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry. The single cover depicts an alien from the video game Centipede. The single's B-side was "Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men", a duet between the band's lead singer Julian Casablancas and Regina Spektor. The release of the single was delayed slightly after Casablancas objected to the song being credited as "the Strokes and Regina Spektor", claiming that it should read "Regina Spektor and The Strokes". In October 2011, NME placed "Reptilia" at number 129 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". The song has appeared in the video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band. more »

He seemed impressed by the way you came in
"Tell us a story, I know you're not boring"
I was afraid that you would not insist
"You sound so sleepy, just take this, now leave me"

I said, please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town

Yeah, the night's not over, you're not trying hard enough
Our lives are changing lanes, you ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing, I'm not drowning fast enough

Now every time that I look at myself
"I thought I told you, this world is not for you"
The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
"You sound so angry, just calm down, you found me"

I said please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town

Yeah, the night's not over, you're not trying hard enough
Our lives are changing lanes, you ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing, I'm not drowning fast enough
