Song lyrics

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 anybody's cabaret
One of those games you're gonna lose
But you wanna play it just in case.

And 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
And so they found a place to hide.

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Is it true you win when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
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 stars you're not coming out tonight
And so they found a place to hide.

And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer.
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there when you want it.
Black treacle.
Black treacle.
Black treacle.
