    [LYRICS]
    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

The overdriven vocals, the clear sharp guitar tone on the Riviera, etc. I still haven't heard anybody else get close to how clean their dirty is. I love the mystery of these guys too, A+++ in my books all the way. Cheers gents.

    Holy sh*t y'all, I've had this song in my head for literal months, but only the opening part, absolutely none of the lyrics so I couldn't google it (it was just the intro dunun du du dun repeating guitar riff) but the only place I've ever heard this song was in a music history class my freshman year of high school (so like 2017), and I was so desperate to find out what song it was I emailed that teacher, and even he wasn't sure what song it was, but I told him that it was rock music and that the artist was male (I also vaguely remembered something about it reminded me of lizards, but my brain makes really weird connections and associations so this was not considered a vital piece of information), so he told me a few artists that we studied that fit the criteria, but when each artist has possibly hundreds of songs it was impossible to narrow it down enough to even entertain the idea of finding it, so I gave up.
    It's a few weeks later now, I'm supposed to be asleep, but I was just thinking about lizards, idk why I just like lizards, and somehow the word reptilia floated into focus just enough for me to, without meaning to, go "hey thats a song title" which I literally have no clue how I even remembered that, but oh my god was it the fastest I've ever gotten out of bed. I'd consider this the most important revelation I've had during quarantine. I absolutely cannot believe I found this song.

    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

    De regreso al Futuro hace 20 años estaba por nacer el Room On Fire y entre sus canciones Reptilia seria la canción que me convenceria en hacer música.

    Gracias The Strokes son parte de mis influencias para hacer musica Hoy en dia sigo intentando en hacerlo.

    Got the verse "the room is on fire as she's fixing her hair"tattooed on my forearm. For some reason this is the only song that since i first heard it 15 years ago hasn't lost any of the power that had on me and still gives me shivers. Anytime i'm upset or i need to calm down it has a soothing effect on my nerves, idk. But that particular verse strucks me more than the others,i don't know why, maybe i'm too emotional and i keep imaging a couple on the edge of a goodbye where he is grieving and is losing his mind over her who's looking at herself in the mirror numb staring at her reflection fixing her locks maybe thinking about another man.

    This was literally one of my favorite songs when i was like 12 years old. I got my first iPod ever and my sister put in all of her college roommate’s songs in it, apparently the song was downloaded from a cd so its title was “Track” and a number. I was so mad because i couldn’t figure out who the artist was and there was no shazam back then. Years later this song appeared in a Guitar Hero game and i was SOOOOO EXCITED that finally after like 5 years i finally figured out who the artist/band was and the name of the song. I have been a die hard Strokes fan ever since !
