Arabella (Live at iTunes Festival 2013)
[Intro]
Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots
And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger
And I ride it endlessly
She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams

[Chorus]
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sittin' on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catchin' the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella

[Post-Chorus]
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure

[Spoken Interlude]
That's right
[Verse 2]
Arabella's got a '70s head
But she's a modern lover, it's an exploration
She's made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge, oh, baby
And her kiss the colour of a constellation
Fallin' into place

[Chorus]
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sittin' on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catchin' the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella

[Post-Chorus]
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure

[Bridge]
That's magic
In a cheetah print coat
Just a slip
Underneath it, I hope
Asking if
I can have one of those
Organic
Cigarettes that she smokes
Wraps her lips
'Round a Mexican Coke
Makes you wish
That you were the bottle
Takes a sip
Of your soul, and it sounds like (Oh, yeah)
[Outro]
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
