Arctic Monkeys - Sandtrap lyrics
[Arctic Monkeys - Sandtrap lyrics]
When you leave us through the patient doors
That rattle in your ear will be
The sound of our applause
Rapturous, considered and due
Oh, the nasty laughter and desperate smirks
Are tangled in the boredom where
Our brittle kisses lurk
Well, how can I believe you when
You can't believe your luck?
And the shards of past attraction
Lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper
Voice you use to speak
Oh, the shards of past attraction
Lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper
Voice you use to speak
In the trap
You only want to be the first to laugh
You only want to be the first in the sandtrap
You only want to be the first to laugh
And you climb in holes and sink the claws
Ring out like the plan she'd had
Just sent us all towards
Farewell, farewell, farewell
That rattle in your ear will be
The sound of our applause
Rapturous, considered and due
Oh, the nasty laughter and desperate smirks
Are tangled in the boredom where
Our brittle kisses lurk
Well, how can I believe you when
You can't believe your luck?
And the shards of past attraction
Lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper
Voice you use to speak
Oh, the shards of past attraction
Lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper
Voice you use to speak
In the trap
You only want to be the first to laugh
You only want to be the first in the sandtrap
You only want to be the first to laugh
And you climb in holes and sink the claws
Ring out like the plan she'd had
Just sent us all towards
Farewell, farewell, farewell
