Every single night,
After the sky goes black,
I see your face.
I think you're back.
You hover in the dark
Like you hang from a string,
But I flip on the light
And I don't find anything.
It all makes sense,
Gotchu' burned in my retinas.
You left my mind's eye paused,
Got awful optic tetanus.
[Bridge]
I never bother rolling over
'Cause you're over there, too.
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Woo-ooh, oo-ooh.
In the red light, palinopsia.
Ooh,
Ooh-woo-ooh, oo-ooh.
In the blue light, palinopsia.
Ooh,
Ooh-woo-ooh, oo-ooh.
In the purple light, palinopsia.
[Verse 2]
I walked down Liberty street after dusk,
A slave to a memory,
Projecting your face on every, pedestrian.
I haven't found a match,
But there was this one
With the right hair color and cut.
Another was wearing those shoes you bought.
Your voice made my cilia ring,
Radiating off a throat of a dead-ringer
Singin' on the corner for some change. (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus v2]
Ooh, ooh
Woo-ooh, ooo-ooh.
In the red light, palinopsia.
Ooh, ooh
Woo-ooh, ooo-ooh.
In the blue light, palinopsia.
Ooh, ooh
Woo-ooh, ooo-ooh.
In the purple light, palinopsia,
Palinopsia-uh.
[Verse 3]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Now you're all I see.
You're frozen in time,
Like I need ya' to be.
1, 2, 3, 4.
I will sculpt you
A statue of a statue of a statue of a statue.
1, 2, 3.
Take it easy.
You're frozen in time
'Cause I froze you in time,
So you'll always be there
No matter if you want to.
[Second Bridge]
You are the only one. (Ah, ah, aah)
You are the only one. (Ah, ah, aah)
You are the only one I see.
[Second Chorus]
All day, every day,
Shadowy shapes are shifting back and forth behind
The seedy operations that devour my time.
Don't take me back, don't take me back,
Take me back-
To that day,
Every day,
These shadowy shapes are threatening to steal my mind.
I can't reason with them,
Every method I've tried is a bust.
[Second Chorus]
