[Intro — instrumental only, 16 bars] [Four-on-the-floor pulse slowly fades in] [Elastic synthetic bass sequence enters] [Crystalline percussion, dry claps, sparse metallic accents] [No lead vocal] [Gradually introduce the main melodic motif] [Smoky nightclub atmosphere, distant robotic male chatter] [Instrumental Hook — 8 bars] [Bright futuristic synth motif] [Short synthetic brass responses] [Male clone gang: distant wordless “ah — ah”] [Deadpan male voices, distant] One. Two. Two again. [Spoken] Perfect. [Main synth hook] [Verse 1 — cool, detached male vocal] I saw you by the swimming pool You looked familiar You looked cool Same little movement of your hand Same little things I understand You said: “Darling, don’t you know?” I said: “Maybe. Take it slow.” You smiled exactly like before So what am I waiting for? [Pre-Chorus — playful call and response] Are you new? [Clone gang: “Almost.”] Are you you? [Clone gang: “Mostly.”] Is it true? [Clone gang: “Who knows?”] Come a little closer. [Chorus — simple, huge, infectious] Second original [Gang: “Original!”] Beautiful, impossible Second original [Gang: “Original!”] Same desire Different model You can change your face You can change your name But when you touch me It’s the same Second original I want you Again. [Instrumental Hook — 8 bars] [Rubbery bass and absurdly catchy synth melody] [Robotic gang chants: “Again — again — again”] [Verse 2] You ordered what you used to drink Before I even had to think You knew the number of my room You wore a different cheap perfume I said: “Where did you get those eyes?” You said: “Paris. Version five.” I said: “They look expensive.” You said: “They are.” [Gang, approving] “Very nice.” [Pre-Chorus] Are you new? [“Almost.”] Are you you? [“Mostly.”] Number two? [“Don’t ask.”] Come a little closer. [Chorus] Second original [“Original!”] Beautiful, impossible Second original [“Original!”] Same desire Different model You can change your face You can change your name But when you touch me It’s the same Second original I want you Again. [Extended Instrumental — dancefloor groove] [No lead vocal] [Elastic bass sequence dominates] [Minimal synth hook mutates gradually] [Mechanical handclaps] [Occasional clone voices] “Original.” “Almost.” “Mostly.” “Very nice.” [Breakdown — bass and voice only] [Spoken] They told me you’re a copy. You told me I’m a copy too. … Fair enough. [Beat returns] [Clone gang] “Fair enough!” [Final Chorus] Second original [“Original!”] Beautiful, impossible Second original [“Original!”] Same desire Different model Maybe you’re number two Maybe I’m number nine You still look good And we have time Second original I want you Again. [Post-Chorus] Again. [“Again!”] Again. [“Again!”] Original. [“Mostly!”] [Spoken] Perfect. [Outro — instrumental] [Main hook and bass continue]
