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 (1)____________ 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 (2)________ and it was (3)__________ to waste

Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And (4)______________ and deranged
And I love that little game
You had called "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The ice-cream man on (5)__________ afternoons

The next time (6)________ I (7)____________ my own reflection
It was on its way to meet you
Thinking of (8)______________ to postpone
You (9)__________ (10)____________ (11)________ yourself
From the side but your profile
Could not hide the fact
You knew I was (12)______________________ your throne
With folded arms you occupied
The (13)__________ (14)________ a toothache
Stood and (15)____________ your (16)__________ out
Like you'd never lost a war
Although I tried so not to suffer
The (17)__________________ of a reaction
There was no (18)____________ to grasp or gaps to claw
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I (19)________ that (20)____________ game
You had called "Crying lightning"
And how you liked to aggravate
The (21)________ man on (22)__________ afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible
As everyone assumes you are
"Crying lightning"

Your pastimes consisted of the strange
Twisted and deranged
And I hate that (23)____________ game you had called
Crying lightning

Crying lightning

Crying lightning

Crying lightning
Your pastimes, (24)__________________ of the strange
And (25)______________ and deranged
And I (26)________ that little game
You had called "Crying"...
