The Element of Surprise
The Last Shadow Puppets

There's a set of rickety stairs

In between my heart and my head

And there ain't much that ever bothers going up them

Here we go at it again

And once it's started it's so tricky to stop

Suddenly reminded of things I thought I'd forgot

You've got me loosening up my grip on the plot

And It feels like

Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise

You'd got a look in your eyes

As you snuck in the side

And the place I thought I was at

Hasn't yet invited me back

The trouble with the chase is it's so easy

To crash

Why color in the lines if you're just painting

It black?

I thought they were kisses but apparently

Not

Do you end all your messages with an 'X marks the spot'?

Just let me know when you want your socks

Knocking off
