Lyrics[]

One by one, ticking time bombs won

It's not the secret of the government

That;s keeping you dumb

Oh, it's the other way around - wait...

What's that sound?

One by one, baby, here they come.


He wants it easy; he want it relaxed

Said I can do alot of things, but I can't do that

Two steps forward, then three steps back

...Alright


"Won't you take a walk outside?"

-Oh no.

"Can't you find some other guy?"

-Oh no.

"1 9 6 9 what's that sound?"

-Oh no.

Keeping down the underground


Oh no...


The end has no end the end has no end

The end has no end the end has no end


He want it easy; he want it relaxed

Said I can do alot of things, but I can't do that

Two steps forward, then three steps back

It won't be easy


"Won't you take a walk outside?"

-Oh no.

"Can't you find some other guy?"

-Oh no.

"1 9 6 3 what's that sound?"

-Oh no.

Keeping down the underground


Oh no...


The end has no end the end has no end

The end has no end the end has no end

The end has no end the end has no end

The end has no end the end has no end...

Music Video[]

The End Has no End

The music video for the song contains several allusions to 'Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey' and features actresses Mila Kunis and Eva Mendes as well as The Strokes' manager Ryan Gentles in the lead role. It was directed by Sophie Muller.

The Strokes can be seen in the video during the prom scene. The band performance in the mirrored room is a nod to (No Pussyfooting) (1973) by Fripp & Eno and A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" music video. The final scene from the video is a clip from the band's first single "12:51" off the same album, Room on Fire, and is a reference to the movie Tron.
