Do me a favor and lock all the doors in the house Because now (because now) It’s not right (It’s not right) And I’m noticing things (Noticing things) Show me the light or the light switch and try not to notice how, Colors are cycling slowly and fading and now It’s all gone. (It’s all gone) It went gray (It went gray) And I’m noticing things (Noticing things) I’m noticing things! Subtle oddities, Completely lost, upon your eyes, Completely crossed, and hypnotized, Subtle oddities, They form a face, in outer space! (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do) Don't be afraid, but the old chandelier in the living room Fell from the ceiling and landed on top of itself And I know (And I know) It's not real (It's not real) And it never was there (Never was there) Dozens of chess pieces crawling around like a centipede Only appear when I look at the statues that bleed Out their eyes (Out their eyes) It's not blood (It's not blood) And it never was there (Never was there) It never was there. Subtle oddities, Completely lost, upon your eyes, Completely crossed, and hypnotized, Subtle oddities, They form a face, in outer space! (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do Dodododo) (Dododo Do Do Do) I knew it all along, That something here was wrong. And now it's spread to you, What am I to do?
