Last Shadow Puppets, The - My Mistakes Were Made For You lyrics

rate me

As subtle as an earthquake I know,

My mistakes were made for you.

And in the back-room of a bad dream she came,

And whisked me away, enthused

And it's as solid as a rock, rolling down a hill

The fact is that it probably will, hit something

On the hazardous terrain

And we're just following the flock, round and in-between

Before we're smashed to smithereens, like they were

And we scrambled from the blame

and it's the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn't help but spit them out.

Innocence and arrogance intwined

In the filthiest of minds

She was spitting on her birthday, and now

A face in the crowd, she's not

I suspect that now forever, the shape, she came to escape

Is forgot.

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything

Around your guilty conscience she will wind

And we're just following the flock, round and in-between

Before we're smashed to smithereens, like they were

And we scrambled from the blame

and it's the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn't help but spit them out,

Around your guilty conscience she will wind.

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything,

Innocence and arrogance intwined
