Lyrics The Last Shadow Puppets

The Last Shadow Puppets

My Mistakes Were Made for You

About as subtle as an earthquake I know

My mistakes were made for you

And in the back room of a bad dream, she came

And whisked me away enthused

And it's solid as a rock rolling down a hill

The fact is that it probably will hit something

On the hazardous terrain

And we're just following the flock

Round and in between

Before we smash to smithereens

Like they were and we scrambled from the blame

And it's the fame that put words in her mouth

She couldn't help but spit them out

Innocence and arrogance entwined

In the filthiest of minds

She was bitten on her birthday

And now a face in the crowd she's not

And I suspected now forever the shape

She came to escape is forgot

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting

And give her less than everything

Around your crooked conscious she will wind

'Cuz we're just following the flock

Round and in between

Before we smash into smithereens

Like they were and we scrambled from the blame

And it's the fame that put words in her mouth

She couldn't help but spit them out

Around your crooked conscious she will wind

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting

And give her less than everything

Innocence and arrogance entwined
