Hawaii (Juicebox B‐Side) Songtext
von The Strokes

Whether you′re in L.A., sunny laid back L.A
Whether you're in New York, comfort ′round your block
Whether you're in the U.K. where the sky is dark
And the grass is kinda green, you know, like Central Park
Still my favorite place in this whole wide world
Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor
I see you poking out of the ocean, paradise on Earth
The 50th state (what?)

Hawaii, ooh-ooh
I don't wanna live in something different, oh-oh-oh
A nuclear distaster might be on our way
But I don′t care, I′m in the U.S.A


Whether we're drunk or stoned, or we′re sober and old
If I'm with you, I′m a happy man
If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold
If your problem is you can't find your remote control
Still my favorite person in this whole wide world
Is the woman who can understand every word
And when she speaks to me, she makes me see the whole world
As my favorite place

Hawaii, we got it made
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yes, I know
Can we go by plane or boat?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Whether you take it slow or you let me go
Whether you tell me something that I did not know
Whether you′re neat and polite or you scream and fight
Whether you keep something from me that I would not like
Still my favourite attitude in this world so far
Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart
I like the way folks are in this most special place
I don't care what happens, I'm taking a plane


Hawaii, ha-wa-a-i
I said, Hawaii, ha-wa-a-i
I said, Hawaii, ha-wa-a-i
I said, Hawaii, ha-wa-a-i
Kauai or Oahu, Molokai or Lanai
Maui and the big guy A.K.A. Hawaii
Hawaii, ha-wa-a-i
Hawaii

Hawaii, ooh-ooh
All I want to do is something different
Oh, let me in
Cut off from Malaysia, back in who knows when
Oh, we got kinda lost, but my god, what a place
I profess airforce jets cannot take away my soul
