[Verse 1] Wrong turn through a blended town Grass then paving, up then down Then a chorus crossed the trees Like it already came from me Stacks arranged in open air Something strange was waiting there For a second I could feel Something future had turned real [Pre-Chorus] Out where anybody stayed I heard tomorrow start to play [Chorus 1] They played it first Before it had a name Speakers in the park Calling me in again I knew each turn Before the next one came They played it first Before it had a name [Verse 2] Then a room appeared nearby Chrome and white with sleepless eyes Half departure, half routine Not the sort of place you’d mean At the door, that famous face Cool and pale and hard to place Tried to talk, then something went Wrong inside the elegant [Pre-Chorus] One hand came and cleared the scene Soft goodbye, precise, serene [Chorus 2] They played it first Before it had a name Speakers in the park And a room that should not stay A star-faced man in silver white Began to slip and rearrange They played it first Then sent me back the way I came [Bridge] Now I keep the frame Not the sound Morning came Shut it down Still I know Something passed Through that place And did not last [Final Chorus] They played it first Before it had a name Speakers in the park And a room that should not stay A star-faced man in silver white Began to slip and rearrange They played it first Then sent me back the way I came
