The Strokes - Hard To Explain

a very interesting way to shoot an MV, it was like shooting the video in his head. directed by Roman Coppola.

Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fate
Ways we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I tried but you see
It's hard to explain
I say the right thing
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the tv
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you
This place is a zoo
You're right, it's true

He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh I just can't remember
Oh I just can't remember

Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I say the right thing
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the tv
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
I'll make it you see
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try but you see
It's hard to explain
