It's hard to get around the wind - Alex Turner

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 peppering 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 sabretooth 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 peppering 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 fighting

Or as if that’s what they’re about to do It might not hurt now but it’s going to hurt soon
