Last Shadow Puppets

As subtle as an earthquake I know
My mistakes were made for you
And in the back-room of a bad dream she came
And whisked me away, enthused

And it's as solid as a rock, rolling down a hill
The fact is that it probably will, hit something
On the hazardous terrain
And we're just following the flock, round and in-between
Before we're smashed to smithereens, like they were
And we scrambled from the blame
and it's the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn't help but spit them out
Innocence and arrogance entwined
In the filthiest of minds

She was spitting on her birthday, and now
A face in the crowd, she's not
I suspect that now forever, the shape, she came to escape
Is forgot

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything
Around your guilty conscience she will wind

And we're just following the flock, round and in-between
Before we're smashed to smithereens, like they were
And we scrambled from the blame
and it's the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn't help but spit them out
Around your guilty conscience she will wind.
And it's a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything,
Innocence and arrogance entwined
