[Verse 1] I wore your laugh like a borrowed coat Crossed that room and I lost the road Same old grin in a different face Same little spark, same paper trace You said my name like a broken rhyme I felt it twitch like the first time Coffee stain on a polka-dot sleeve I know this trick, but I still believe [Pre-Chorus] Round and round it comes back Soft hands on the same old track I blink once, and there you are A borrowed moon, a tipped-up star [Chorus] Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu Triple entundres, vis a vis Vis a poire, mei vu Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu I know this move, I know this mood Still it pulls me through [Verse 2] Your shoe tapped out on the same loose tile That crooked smile made it hurt awhile I tried to leave through the spinning door But your laugh came back and asked for more A red-lit sign, a chipped glass rim The whole night folded back on him I had a plan, I had a line Then you changed the shape of time [Pre-Chorus] Round and round it comes back Soft hands on the same old track I blink once, and there you are A borrowed moon, a tipped-up star [Chorus] Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu Triple entundres, vis a vis Vis a poire, mei vu Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu I know this move, I know this mood Still it pulls me through [Bridge] Say it slow, say it strange Every echo wears your face I tried to name what I could keep But the room got wide, then pulled me deep [Chorus] Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu Triple entundres, vis a vis Vis a poire, mei vu Beatnik deja vu Beatnik deja vu I know this move, I know this mood Still it pulls me through
