Black 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 cabriolet
 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 comin' out tonight
 And so they found 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 stars you're not comin' out tonight
 And so they found a place to hide
 ♪
 Now I'm out of place, and I'm not gettin' any wiser
 I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesiser
 And I tried last night to pack away your laugh
 Like a key under the mat
 But it never seems to be there when you want it
 Black treacle
 Black treacle
