Science Fiction
Arctic Monkeys
Letra

Religious iconography giving 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 something 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 want to 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 want to 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
