A song that has been referred to as sounding like new wave video porn.

lyrics

Intro:
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You cannot sleep
You better lie
You move the corner to the left and the shadow to the side
You better die

Check-check-check
Check-check-check
Check-check-check
Check-check-check

Check 1 check 2
(Ah-ah)
Check 1 check 2
(Ah-ah)
Check 1 check 2-ooo-ooo-oooo

Chorus A (2x)
I’m hot ta def
You got my number from a video
I say oh no
It’s a no-go
If it only mentions you
I’m hot ta def
You got my number from a video
Let me just say once
Speed it up
Or slow your roll

Closing in on open
We keep our eyes wide shut
Who else is in the room?
All my people say wut wut
Get into a rut like it’s a melody
Tragedy is in your pockets
And now it’s hit full screen
Full scream
It’s an overload empire
Built on desperate misery
And fire in the final scene
Fade to black
On the counterattack
Blast off cuz it’s a wrap

Chorus B (2x):

Never get your views from independent lens
When the world ends
Close your eyes begin again
It’s real all the time
You go blind
Or you don’t

Check 1 check 2
Ah-ah
(check check check)
Check 1 check 2
Ah-ah
(check check check)
Check 1 check 2-ooo-ooo-oooo

Chorus A (2x):
I’m hot ta def
You got my number from a video
I say oh no
It’s a no-go
If it only mentions you
I’m hot ta def
You got my number from a video
Let me just say once
Speed it up
Or slow your roll

When the window’s shuttered
And the plot has thickened to your dismay
Your vision blurry in a hurry
20/20 got a ride a la carte
It’s the story of the day
Now hasten up your worry
No waaaaaay
You know it’s kinda like a rocket
Run awaaaaaay
It’s a blast-off in your pocket
It’s okay
Cuz there’s nothing left to see
Mystery divides the truth
Between a-them and you and me-ee

Chorus B (3x):

Never get your views from independent lens
When the world ends
Close your eyes begin again
It’s real all the time
You go blind
Or you don’t
