Crying Lightning by Arctic Monkeys

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
So, you're mistaken if you're thinking
That I haven't been (1)____________ cold before
As you bit (2)________ your strawberry lace
And (3)________ offered me your attention
In the form of a gobstopper
It's all you had left and it was going 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 rainy afternoons

The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on its way to meet you
Thinking of (4)______________ to postpone
You (5)__________ 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 occupied
The bench like a toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out
Like you'd never (6)________ 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 (7)________ pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I (8)________ that little game
You had called "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not (9)________ as impossible
As everyone assumes you are
"Crying lightning"

Your pastimes consisted of the strange
Twisted and deranged
And I hate 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"...
