"Star Treatment" lyrics - ARCTIC MONKEYS

I just wanted to be one of The Strokes
Now look at the mess you made me make
Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase
Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway
I'm a big name in deep space, ask your mates
But golden boy's in bad shape
I found out the hard way
That here ain't no place
For dolls like you and me
Everybody's on a bridge
Floating down the endless stream of great TV
1984-2019

Maybe I was a little too wild in the '70s
Rocket ship grease down the cracks of my knuckles
Karate bandana
Warp speed chic
Hair down to there
Impressive moustache
Love came in a bottle with a twist-off cap
Let's all have a swig and do a hot lap
So who you gonna call?
The martini police
Baby, that isn't how they look tonight
It took the light forever to get to your eyes

I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear-view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat
But it's alright because you love me
And you recognise that it ain't how it should be
Your eyes are heavy
And the weather's getting ugly
So pull over
I know the place
Don't you know an apparition is a cheap date
What exactly is it you've been drinking these days?
Jukebox in the corner
Long hot summer
They've got a film up on the wall
And it's dark enough to dance
What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?

Maybe I was a little to wild in the '70s
Back down to Earth with a lounge singer shimmer
Elevator down to my make-believe residency
From the honeymoon suite
Two shows a day, four nights a week
Easy money
So who you gonna call?
The martini police
Baby, that isn't how they look tonight
It took the light forever to get to your eyes
It took the light absolutely forever to get to your eyes
And as we gaze skyward, ain't it dark early?
It's the star treatment
