Piledriver waltz - Alex Turner

I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop

And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass

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

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Piledriver
