One day soon you'll have to leave
One day soon you'll have to excuse me

They're coming to getcha
Your knife's in the dresser
So perfect for fighting
So perfect for hiding

The anger won't letcha
You'll scream but they'll getcha
One day soon you'll have to leave
Need are not quite a belief

It happens in a space no word has entered
Over my shoulder I scream over and over
She says in dreams you are never 80
A thousand doors a thousand different memories
What's that I hear just a fool that felt it
She never made it back, she's stuck in transit

Just because we're part of the scene
Doesn't mean we share the same dream
So perfect for fighting
So perfect for hiding
So perfect for violence

They're coming to getcha
They're coming to getcha

One day soon you'll have to leave
One day soon you'll have to excuse me

She says in dreams you are never 80
A thousand doors a thousand different memories
What's that I hear just a fool that felt it
She never made it back, she's stuck in transit

Though best known as a guitarist and keyboardist for The Strokes, Hammond has also been performing periodic solo work since his 2006 debut album Yours To Keep.

Still a member of The Strokes despite the controversy surrounding and following their 2013 album Comedown Machine, Hammond began to gain more traction upon releasing his 2013 AHJ – EP under Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas‘ Cult Records Label.

Though still an official part of his bandmate’s label, he released his 2015 album Momentary Masters through Vagrant Records.
