The Last Shadow Puppets - The Element of Surprise

There's a set of rickety stairs
In between my heart and my head
And there ain't much that ever bothers going up them
Here we go, I'm at it again
And once it's started it's so tricky to stop
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I'd forgot
You've got me loosening up my grip on the plot

And it feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
That look in your eyes
As you snuck in the side

And the place I thought I was at
Hasn't yet invited me back
The trouble with the chase is it's so easy to crash
Why color in the lines if you're just painting it black?
I thought they were kisses, but apparently not
Do you end all your messages with an X marks the spot?
Just let me know when you want your socks knocking off

And it feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
That look in your eyes
As you snuck in the side
Guess there's nothing like
The element of surprise

The element of surprise
The element of surprise
The element of surprise
The element of surprise
