secret door

• humbug albümünden bir arctic monkeys şarkısı.
  
  fools on parade cavort and carry on
  for waiting eyes
  that you would rather be beside than in front of
  but she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
  
  she swam out of tonight’s phantasm
  grabbed my hand and made it very clear
  there’s absolutely nothing for us here
  it’s a magnolia celebration
  to be attempted on a wednesday night
  it’s better than to get a reputation
  as a miserable little tyke
  at least that’s the conclusion
  she came to in this overture
  
  the secret door swings behind us
  she’s saying nothing
  she’s just giggling along
  
  her arms were folded most indignant
  not looking like she was soon to leave
  i had to squint in order to believe
  and then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
  i’m unveiling the unexpected
  how she was never gonna look to?
  suddenly embarrassed and corrected
  how could such a creature
  survive in such a habitat
  
  the secret door swings behind us
  she’s saying nothing
  she’s just giggling along
  and even if they were to find us
  i wouldn’t notice, i’m completely occupied
  
  at all the fools on parade
  cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
  that you would rather be beside than in front of
  but she’s never been the kind
  to be hollowed by the stares
  fools on parade
  frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
  turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
  that holds her options
  but you’re daft to think she’d care
  
  fools on parade
  fools on parade
  fools on parade
  conduct a sing-along
