[Verse 1]
Eyes wide as the ocean
Moving in slow motion
A joke that's left angry
We pause for a moment
Palm bent like knees folding
We talked of your clothing
Roll down the new garment
Love songs of the moment

[Pre-Chorus]
Strange place to hunt for you
Disguised by what we do

[Chorus]
Sang out
We planted the joy that's in your house
That's really something that I never wanted to hear
Blind fear
It sucked out the breaths you were breathing
That's really never something that I wanted to hear

[Verse 2]
A knife on his armpit
His sights on your prophet
Who will you inhabit
Torn right from your basket
A list of his actions
Reports of conditions
A wind that goes absent
I failed at my mission

[Pre-Chorus]
Strange place to hunt for you
Disguised by what we do

[Chorus]
Sang out
We planted the joy that's in your house
That's really something that I never wanted to hear
Blind fear
It sucked out the breaths you were breathing
That's really something that I never wanted to hear

[Outro]
That's really something that I never wanted to hear
That's really something that I never wanted to hear
That's really something that I never wanted to hear
That's really something that I never wanted to hear

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.
