A Cloud of Mystery Lyrics

Cover art for A Cloud of Mystery lyrics by Maxïmo Park

This song is possibly about the buzz you get while meeting someone for the first time... Further more its about how that 'buzz' subsides later on.

Also, there is some lyric corrections to be made;

Her painted features smothered in the groom -should be Her painted features smothered in the gloom

At night she strips away the face -should be At night she scrapes away the face

Kept for a Thursday afternoon -should be King for a Thursday afternoon

Bathroom lights start the evening -should be Bathroom lights stud the evening

Hairspray curls push the cheek -should be Hairspray curls brush the cheek
