  • I left your house when you were sleeping
    Hadn't correctly got my head screwed on
    Tried to find a way to write a note
    Couldn't get your shower to work

    I sort of wish that it was raining
    So that I could pull the hood up on my coat
    I'm always happy to be leaving
    Could be the company I'm keeping

    Like when you're looking for your shades
    Riflin' through your pockets
    And you find them on your face

    Ooh I can't escape it, abnormal behavior
    Uncontrollably vapor
    And on, 'bout some
    Thing done
    Sooner or later
    This strange little arrangement
    And all of its exchanges
    Must cease

    Shouldn't have come back
    Shouldn't have switched it on at all
    Didn't mean to hold you so close
    But you know how it goes

    I sort of wish that it was sunset
    I kind of wish that it was New Year's Day
    On a vacant street
    I cast a long-eyed shadow

    Like when you're looking for your shades
    Rifling through your pockets
    And you find them on your face
    Walking around in a daze
    I don't want to stop it
    Baby let you trade

    Ooh I can't escape it
    Abnormal behavior, uncontrollably vapor
    And on about some
    Thing done
    Sooner or later
    This strange little arrangement
    And all of its exchanges
    Must cease

    Not easy to see where to go
    The misty middle twist and swallow
    The curves are the only part
    I know
    And maybe takes a side of cool Writer/s: ALEX TURNER, ALEXANDRA MCDERMOTT
