When It Started

The Strokes

WHEN IT STARTED

Won't decide, but he won't debate

Said, "Thanks my friend," but he was too late

Oh why, oh why

I don't know



So you think things move pretty fast down here

Well just wait my dear 'till you look up there

Oh maybe someday you'll know



Had his second kid, was an early night

Got to be well dressed 'cause he hates to fly

Oh loves his job, takes it home



Anything they wanted

They could have it, have it

Didn't even notice

I don't mind it, mind it



Won't decide, but he won't debate

Said, "Thanks my friend, thought that we was dead"

Oh why, oh why

I don't know



Think things move pretty fast down here

But just wait my dear 'till we get up there

Oh maybe someday they'll know



Come on tell me does she warm the room

When he comes

Or does he just know how to leave

When it gets cold



Well I don't care, I don't care

'Cause it's free
