  • Religious iconography givin' you the creeps?
    I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek
    The rise of the machines
    I must admit you gave me somethin' momentarily
    In which I could believe
    But the hand of harsh reality's un-gloved
    And it's on its way back in to scoop you up
    But not on my watch

    I wanna stay with you, my love
    The way some science fiction does

    Reflections in the silver screen of strange societies
    Swamp monster with a hard on for connectivity
    The ascension of the cream
    Mass panic on a not-too-distant future colony
    Quantitative easing
    I wanna make a simple point about peace and love
    But in a sexy way where it's not obvious

    Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages
    The way some science fiction does
    The way some science fiction does

    I've got the world on a wire
    In my little mirror mirror on the wall
    In the pocket of my raincoat

    So I tried to write a song to make you blush
    But I've a feeling that the whole thing
    May well just end up too clever for its own good
    The way some science fiction does Writer/s: Alex Turner
