Space Invaders
Arctic Monkeys氀 Lyrics

Space invaders flying home
The singer refers to a group of people who are leaving a gathering and returning to their homes.

Yeah, they're going to hit the sack
The group is going to bed, most likely after a night of partying.

And they are prob'ly going to die getting high
The singer suggests that the group is engaging in risky behavior, such as using drugs, that could potentially lead to harm or death.

Cause they're mixing crazy ... with the crack
The group is using a combination of drugs that is considered dangerous or unpredictable.

And she's kissing all the boys
The artist is referring to a woman who is flirting heavily with multiple men at the gathering.

She's too clever to be slack
Despite her flirting, the woman is intelligent and capable, not lazy or unproductive.

But she's bound to go away for a day
Despite her intelligence and attractiveness, the woman will be leaving town for a short period of time.

In July, so she won't be coming back
The woman will be leaving during the month of July and may not return.

Baby, baby, baby
The artist is addressing someone affectionately.

The good old days to tax
The artist is referencing a time in the past that may have seemed better or more carefree, but now has to be faced with responsibility or strain.

Won't you dry your pretty eyes
The singer is attempting to comfort or console someone who is upset or emotional.

Come on!
The artist is encouraging someone to take action or join in on something.
