Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] I've seen your eyes as they fix on me "What is he doin'? What on earth's the plan Has he got one?" You better give me some pointers Since you are the big rocket launcher And I'm just the shotgun I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes That might be a surprise But it's true, said, I'm not like you And I don't want your advice or your praise Or to move in the ways you do And I never will [Chorus: Alex Turner] 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail [Verse 2: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] I've seen your eyes as they fix on me Full of confusion Your snarl is just so condescending Trying to explain that we're on to a win If the fee we get in Near recoups what we're spendin' He said, "I can't believe that you drove all that way Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya? You'd have been better to stay round our way" Thinkin' 'bout things But not actually doing the things [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail 'Cause all you people are vampires And all your stories are stale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail [Instrumental Break] [Interlude: Matt Helders] (All you people are vampires) [Instrumental Outro]
