Alex Turner [UK] - It's Hard To Get Around The Wind

It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry And the queue was shorter than you thought it would be And the doorman says, "you need to get a wristband" You've got to lift between the pitfalls But you're looking like you're low on energy Did you get out and walk to ensure you'd miss the quicksand Looking for a new place to begin Feeling like it's hard to understand But as long as you still keep pepperin' the pill You'll find a way to spit it out, again And even when you know the way it's gonna blow It's hard to get around the wind. Stretching out the neck on your evening Trying to even out some deficit But it's saber tooth multi-ball confusion And you can shriek until you're hollow Or whisper it the other way Trying to save the youth without putting your shoes on Looking for a new place to begin Feeling like it's hard to understand But as long as you still keep pepperin' the pill You'll find a way to spit it out, again And even when you know the way it's gonna blow It's hard to get around the wind. I can hear you through my window But I'm never quite sure who is who But they want the world on a dessert spoon It always sounds like they're fightin' Or if that's what they're about to do It might not hurt now but it's going to hurt soon
