Dangerous Animals - Arctic Monkeys

Been fighting with my sheets and nearly crying in my sleep

Yes, I’m battling that well-told gripe, the most frustrating type

You should have racing stripes the way you keep me in pursuit

Sharpen the heel of your boot and you press it in my chest

And you make me wheeze, then to my knees you do promote me

I’m pinned down by the dark

Makes my head pirouette

More than I would be willing to confess

The light it fidgets through, the thoughts’ll soon revert to you

About as bashful as a tribal dance, the first and final chance

And of course the audience of frighteners and fiends

Divided up into two teams

When the acrobat fell off the beam, she broke everyone’s heart

I’m pinned down by the dark

Makes my head pirouette

More than I would be willing to confess

The most unsuitable pet

It’s been long enough now so let’s

Make a mess, lioness

I’m pinned down by the dark

I’m pinned down by the dark, oh-oh-oh
