Black Treacle by Arctic Monkeys

Lately I've (1)________ (2)____________ things
Belly button piercings
In the sky at night
When we're (3)________ by side
And I don't mean to rain
On anybody's cabriolet
One of those (4)__________ you're (5)__________ to lose
But you (6)________ to (7)________ it (8)________ in case

Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like (9)__________ (10)______________ (11)________ tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars
You're not coming out tonight

And so (12)________ found a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it (13)________ you concentrate?
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining (14)________ fun?
And you talk the talk alright
But do you (15)________ the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don't (16)________ it now

Now it's getting (17)________ and the sky looks sticky
More like (18)__________ treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody (19)________ the stars
You're not (20)____________ out tonight

And so they found a place to hide

And now I'm out of place
And I'm not getting any wiser
I (21)________ (22)________ the sundance kid
Behind a synthesizer
And I tried last night to pack (23)________ a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there
When you want it
