(Verse 1) Alarm goes off at seven ten Coffee drips and stops again Walk outside, the sky is gray Just another copy-paste day Step on the curb, I miss the beat A tiny cat with neon feet It winks at me, then disappears Behind a vending machine that cheers Wait a second, did it speak? A strange soft sound, a tiny squeak (Chorus) Blink once, blink twice, static line Everything is normal, everything is fine One small glitch in the morning light Makes the dull old world feel bright Looping round, ticking fast Nothing changes, nothing lasts Blink once, blink twice, static line Maybe today is a new design (Verse 2) Get on the train, line up in rows Everybody looking at their toes The guy next to me pulls out a cup Pours upside down, it fills right up Gravity forgot to run its code On a Tuesday morning on the city road I bite my lip, I try to stare He just drinks his tea like it isn't rare A floating drop, a little clue The world is broke, but it's funny too (Chorus) Blink once, blink twice, static line Everything is normal, everything is fine One small glitch in the morning light Makes the dull old world feel bright Looping round, ticking fast Nothing changes, nothing lasts Blink once, blink twice, static line Maybe today is a new design (Verse 3) Walking through the supermarket aisle Every single apple has a tiny smile I touch a green one, it starts to glow Playing a song that I used to know Just three seconds of a synthesized chord Now I’m not so bored, no, I’m not so bored The clerk looks up and hands me change A coin from a year that’s out of range Two thousand ninety-nine on the side I slide it in my pocket with a secret pride (Chorus) Blink once, blink twice, static line Everything is normal, everything is fine One small glitch in the morning light Makes the dull old world feel bright Looping round, ticking fast Nothing changes, nothing lasts Blink once, blink twice, static line Maybe today is a new design (Breakdown - Whispered) (Minimal beat, whispered ultra-fast articulation) Did you see that? Did you feel that? Press refresh. System error. Just a little bug in the routine. Softly, quietly, behind the screen. (Verse 4) Back at my desk, the clock ticks on The grey routine is almost gone It’s the same old street, it’s the same old town But the rules are slightly upside down I smile to myself, I sip my tea Waiting for the next absurdity Nothing big, just a tiny crack To keep the colors from turning black (Chorus) Blink once, blink twice, static line Everything is normal, everything is fine One small glitch in the morning light Makes the dull old world feel bright Looping round, ticking fast Nothing changes, nothing lasts Blink once, blink twice, static line Maybe today is a new design (Outro - Fade Out) (Fast glitches, fading beat) Click, tap, repeat, rewind. A tiny bug in my mind. Click, tap, repeat, rewind. A funny little world behind. Glitch... glitch... reboot. Fade out.
