[Verse 1] A man in a blue coat Walked past me on the street I watched him cross the corner And disappear from me Three seconds later Same coat, same face He walked past me again At exactly the same pace [Pre-Chorus] I turned around Nothing strange Traffic moving People talking Everything Exactly where it— [Cut] [Chorus] Bad edit Something jumped again One frame missing Then we're back where we began Bad edit Nobody seems to care The world keeps rolling Like the cut was never there [Post-Chorus] Did you see that? [Glitch] See that? See that? No? Okay. [Verse 2] I put my keys down On the table by the door Turned to hang my jacket They were halfway to the floor A can fell from a shelf I heard it hit the ground [Cut] It was standing where it started Without making any sound [Pre-Chorus] I watched the cashier Start to say "Would you like your—" [Glitch] "Have a nice day." I hadn't paid. [Beat Drop] [Chorus] Bad edit Something jumped again One frame missing Then we're somewhere else instead Bad edit Nobody turns around The world keeps rolling And pretends it didn't— [Cut] [Breakdown] A bus goes by [Splice] A bus goes by [Splice] The same dog barks [Splice] The same door shuts [Splice] A woman drops her phone [Silence] It's in her hand. [Low Pulse] I count the windows One, two, three, four [Glitch] One, two, three, four [Glitch] One, two— [Hard Cut] [Bridge] Maybe there's an editor Somewhere getting tired Leaving little pieces On the cutting-room floor Maybe no one notices Because they never look Maybe I wasn't supposed to— [Cut] [Final Chorus] Bad edit There it goes again Wrong beginning Wrong middle Wrong end Bad edit Now I'm watching everywhere For the little jump That says I wasn't meant to— [Long Silence] [Outro] A man in a blue coat Walks past me on the street I know this part. He reaches the corner [Pause] He turns [Glitch] A man in a blue coat Walks past me on the street.
