[Intro: Fast octave-jumping synth bass, mechanical drum machine, sharp electronic stabs] [Verse 1: Detached baritone, clipped delivery, two bars per line] The city glows behind the glass A thousand lives are moving past The window frames divide the night The faces swim in strips of light I walk beneath the yellow squares Nobody knows that I am there The glass is warm, the street is cold The same old pictures never hold [Pre-Chorus: Insistent rising sequencer, increasing tension] One light! Two lights! Stay on! All night! [Chorus: Urgent, punchy, rhythmic vocal shouts] DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! LIGHTS ON! NO ANSWER! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! EYES UP! LOOK CLOSER! THEY LOOK! I LOOK BACK! LIGHTS OUT! NO SHADOWS! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! WHO'S THERE? NO ANSWER! [Instrumental: Repeating aggressive monophonic synth riff, tight electronic percussion] [Verse 2: Dry, rhythmic, almost spoken] The second floor is painted blue There's someone standing next to you A hand goes up, the curtain falls The sound is lost between the walls I see the light, I see the frame At dawn the streets all look the same I turn away, I hear the click The walls go dark, the windows blink [Pre-Chorus: Percussive synth stabs, growing intensity] One light! Two lights! Stay on! All night! [Chorus: Forceful, urgent electronic delivery] DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! LIGHTS ON! NO ANSWER! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! EYES UP! LOOK CLOSER! THEY LOOK! I LOOK BACK! LIGHTS OUT! NO SHADOWS! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! WHO'S THERE? NO ANSWER! [Breakdown: Drum machine and bass sequence only, cold detached spoken vocals] Window one Window two Someone's watching Someone new Lights above Lights below Who is watching? I don't know [Build: Rapid synth arpeggio, accelerating metallic percussion] Turn it on! Turn it off! Turn it on! Turn it off! [Final Chorus: Full synthesizer intensity, doubled baritone vocals] DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! LIGHTS ON! NO ANSWER! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! EYES UP! LOOK CLOSER! THEY LOOK! I LOOK BACK! LIGHTS OUT! NO SHADOWS! DARK WALLS! BRIGHT WINDOWS! WHO'S THERE? NO ANSWER! [Outro: Hypnotic synth bass repeating, electronic stabs] Dark walls! Bright windows! Dark walls! Bright windows! Lights on! Lights out! [End: Abrupt electronic cutoff]
