Lyrics of Arabella - Live by Arctic Monkeys
verse
Arabella′s got some interstellar-gator skin boots
And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
She′s got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams
pre-chorus
My days end best when this sunset gets itself
Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
chorus
As Arabella
Arabella
Just might have tapped into your mind and soul
You can′t be sure
verse
Arabella′s got a seventies head
But she's a modern lover
It′s an exploration, she's made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy′s edge
And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place
pre-chorus
My days end best when this sunset gets itself
Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it′s just not as kind on the eyes
chorus
As Arabella
As Arabella
Just might have tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
bridge
That's magic in a cheetah print coat
Just a slip underneath it I hope
Asking if I can have one of those
Organic cigarettes that she smokes
Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke
Makes you wish that you were the bottle
Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like
chorus
I just might have tapped into your mind and soul
You can′t be sure
outro
Would like to play for you now, ladies and gentlemen
The childhood track from our new LP
Entitled, "Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino", get down
Writer(s): Alex Turner
