Lyrics

0:05Lately I've been seeing things
0:10Belly button piercings in the sky at night
0:20When we're side by side
0:24And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabaret
0:33One of those games you're gonna lose
0:37But you wanna play it just in case
0:49Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
0:54More like black treacle than tar
0:59Black treacle
1:01Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight
1:09And so they found a place to hide
1:21Does it help you stay up late
1:26Does it help you concentrate
1:31Is it true you win when you chew your chin
1:35Am I ruining your fun
1:40And you talk the talk alright
1:44Do you walk the walk or catch the train
1:48You wanted it you got it
1:53But you don't want it now
2:00Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
2:05More like black treacle than tar
2:10Black treacle
2:12Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight
2:20And so they found a place to hide
2:31And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
2:40I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
2:48And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
2:56Like a key under the mat
3:00But it never seems to be there when you want it
3:10Black treacle
3:14Black treacle
3:19Black treacle
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 cabaret
One of those games you're gonna lose
But you wanna play it just in case
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
And so they found a place to hide
Does it help you stay up late
Does it help you concentrate
Is it true you win when you chew your chin
Am I ruining your fun
And you talk the talk alright
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 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 last night to pack away a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there when you want it
Black treacle
Black treacle
Black treacle
