I Wish I Had a Twin (Sous Les Néons)

[Intro] (Filtered disco loop, band-pass closed tight, FM bells, sidechain pump, 126 BPM) Sous les néons... Deux silhouettes... Dis-moi comment c'est. [Verse 1] (Breathy, close, half-spoken) Je vous ai vus arriver, tous les deux, à la même heure, la même façon de rire, la même main dans la même poche. I never knew how lonely one could feel until I saw two of you under the neon. [Pre-Filter] (Filter begins to open, gated snare enters) Ice cream melting, runners in the dusk, Fantasy Delight and the sun going down. Moi, je viens toujours toute seule... alors dis-moi comment c'est. [Filter Open] (Band-pass sweeps wide over four bars, this is the release) I wish I had a twin. Un comme moi... un comme moi. I wish I had a twin. Sous les néons... dis-moi comment c'est. [Verse 2] (Closer, more urgent, the three questions) Est-ce que tu sais toujours où il est dans la salle? Does he finish your sentences before you think them? Est-ce que tu as déjà été seul... une seule fois? Never explain. Not once. [Filter Open] I wish I had a twin. Un comme moi... un comme moi. I wish I had a twin. Sous les néons... dis-moi comment c'est. [The Answer] (Male twin duet, plain and warm, filter fully open) We can't tell you what it's like. We've got nothing to compare it to. We have never once been the only one in a room. So sit down. We'll make it three. [Bridge] (Vocoder, both male voices processed until they read as one) Un comme moi... Un comme toi... (the two voices become one voice) [Final] (Everything open, sidechain wide, bells on top) I wish I had a twin. (We can't tell you.) Totally two-bular, sous les néons! I wish I had a twin. (Reste.) Un comme moi... un comme moi... Reste jusqu'à dimanche... et on sera trois. [Outro] (Filter closes back down, loop recedes, soft laugh) Sous les néons de Twinsburg... Dis-moi...
