Black Treacle by Arctic Monkeys

Lately I've been seeing things
Belly button piercings
In the sky at night
When we're side by side
And I don't mean to rain
On anybody's cabriolet
One of those games you're going to lose
But you want to (1)________ it just in case

Now it's getting (2)________ and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars
You're not coming out tonight

And so they found a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it (3)________ you concentrate?
Does it tune you in (4)________ you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
But do you (5)________ the walk or catch the train?
You (6)____________ it, you got it
But you don't want it now

Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like (7)__________ treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody (8)________ the stars
You're not coming 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 feel like the sundance kid
Behind a synthesizer
And I tried (9)________ night to pack away a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it (10)__________ seems to be there
When you want it
