Crying Lightning Acoustic Version
Arctic Monkeys
[Verse 1]
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix

Said "You're mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been called 'cold' before"
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste

[Bridge]
[Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called

[Chorus]
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
[Verse 2]
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

[Bridge 2]
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called

[Chorus]
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons

[Outro]
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
Crying Lightning
[Verse 3]
Oh you were reading a book about some idiot and telling me about another
I was so severely underwhelmed I thought I might never recover

Straighten the rudder girl and sail me up stairs
And go and find somebody who cares
Well we might not be the perfect partners but tonight we make a pair

[Bridge 2]
