Lyrics

Arctic Monkeys — Body Paint

For a master of deception and subterfuge

You've made yourself quite the bed to lie in

Do your time traveling through the tanning booth

So you don't let the sun catch you crying

So predictable, I know what you're thinking

My teeth are beating and my knees are weak

It's as if there's something up with the wiring

You can poke your head behind the mountain peak
