Verse

Lately i've been seeing things

Belly button piercings, in the sky, at night

When we're side by side

And i don't mean to rain

on anybodys caboret

One of those games

you're gonna lose

but you wanna play it just incase

Chorus

Now it's getting dark

and the sky looks sticky

more like black treacle than tar

Black treacle,

somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight

So they find a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late

Does it help you concentrate,

Does it tune you in, when you chew your chin?

Am i ruining your fun?

And you talk the talk alright

but do you walk the walk, or catch the train?

You wanted it, you got it

But you don't want it now

Now it's getting dark

and the sky looks sticky

more like black treacle than tar

Black treacle

somebody told the starts you're not coming out tonight

so they found a place to hide

Middle

Now i'm out of place

and i'm not getting any wiser

I feel like the sundance kid,

behind the synthesiser

And i tried last night

to pack away the laugh

like a key under the mat

but it's never seems to be there

[ ] to end

when you want it

Black treacle

Black treacle

Black treacle
