Pretty Visitors Songtext
von Arctic Monkeys

Trudgin′ through the mornin'
And the tramp with the trampoline under his arm
Shifts past your whiskers, so stark is the charm
But the barkin′ alarm waits coiled 'til the corner is turned

And the bicycle wheels all struggle to move 'round
In your muddy mind, blatantly caked and
Unwillin′ to wind uncooperative time
So he sits on the springs ′til the muck goes dry

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the

What came first, the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reaps rewards from ill-fitting thoughts
And twilight forced you to go on a walk
Your legs start runnin', and your leg gets caught


Canopy 19 is perfectly placed
For the reasonably frightenin′, fall from the aftertaste
You'll have to slip away, I′m unhappy to say
"Behold as the crook in the hammock plays"

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall

Behold as the crook in the hammock plays
Cruelly with the base of the scales
And fiddles with the feet on a balancin' act
Gagged, bound and craftin′ a tale
Trailin' wrapped in a gasp
Cruelly with the base of the scales
And fuckin' fiddles with the feet on a balancin′ act
She was gagged, bound and craftin′ a tale
Trailin' wrapped in a gasp

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
