Verse
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 anybodys caboret
One of those games
you're gonna lose
but you wanna play it just incase
Chorus
Now it's getting dark
and the sky looks sticky
more like black treacle than tar
Black treacle,
somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight
So they find a place to hide
Does it help you stay up late
Does it help you concentrate,
Does it tune you in, when you chew your chin?
Am i ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
but do you walk the walk, or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don't want it now
Now it's getting dark
and the sky looks sticky
more like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
somebody told the starts you're not coming out tonight
so they found a place to hide
Middle
Now i'm out of place
and i'm not getting any wiser
I feel like the sundance kid,
behind the synthesiser
And i tried last night
to pack away the laugh
like a key under the mat
but it's never seems to be there
[ ] to end
when you want it
Black treacle
Black treacle
Black treacle
