Crying Lightning by Arctic Monkeys

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You (1)________ practicing a (2)__________ trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
So, you're mistaken if you're 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
It's all you had left and it was (3)__________ to waste

Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game
You had called "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The ice-cream man on (4)__________ afternoons

The next time that I (5)____________ my own reflection
It was on its way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked (6)________ yourself
From the side but your profile
Could not hide the fact
You knew I was approaching (7)________ throne
With folded arms you occupied
The bench like a toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out
Like you'd never lost a war
Although I tried so not to suffer
The indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible
As (8)________________ assumes you are
"Crying lightning"

Your pastimes consisted of the strange
Twisted and deranged
And I (9)________ that little game you had called
Crying lightning

Crying lightning

Crying lightning

Crying lightning
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called "Crying"...
