Alex Turner - Piledriver Waltz lyrics

I etched the face of a stopwatch On the back of a raindrop And did a swap for the sand in an hourgla** I heard an unhappy ending It sort of sounds like you leaving I heard the piledriver waltz It woke me up this morning You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose Your waitress was miserable and so was your food If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes Mysteries flashing amber go green When you answer but the red on the rest Of the questionnaire never changes I heard the news that you're planning To shoot me out of a cannon I heard the piledriver waltz It woke me up this morning You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose Your waitress was miserable and so was your food If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
