  • So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space
    Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face?
    I saw this aura over the battleground states
    I lost the money, lost the keys
    But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase

    And I never thought, not in a million years
    That I'd meet so many Lolas
    Can I please have my money back?
    My virtual reality mask is stuck on "Parliament Brawl"
    Emergency battery pack just in time
    For my weekly chat with God on video call

    Breaking news, they take the truth and make it fluid
    The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward
    A montage of the latest ancient ruins
    Soundtracked by a chorus of "you don't know what you're doing"

    And I never thought, not in a million years
    That I'd meet so many Lolas

    And all of my most muscular regrets explode
    Behind my eyes like American sports

    And I never thought, not in a million years
    That I'd meet so many lovers Writer/s: Alex Turner
