Absofacto - Palinopsia lyrics

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

I never bother rolling over
'Cause you're over there, too

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

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)

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

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

You are the only one (Ah, ah, aah)
You are the only one (Ah, ah, aah)
You are the only one I see

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
