O Theremin

I felt like I had been awake for weeks

No Zopiclone or Xanax left to fix me

But when I finally did sleep

I was visited by Professor Theremin

I opened the curtain and let him in

Are you listening

To all the things I've been thinking?

Watch me, my screen is flickering

I dream in blue light, I dream in binary

Oh professor, what have you learned from me?

There is no ghost in my collection of machines

Your radio device is so arcane to me

But when you identify my frequency

Pick up my signal, transmit to me

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Oh Theremin, do you know about the loneliness?

I've scrolled for days, this endless catalogue of faces?

Meet me in a neutral place

On the platform of the subway

No one will hear the things we say

There is no bug in my bedroom

These walls, these walls are surveillance proof

I undress at night in front of the window

The lights pour in from the street

There is no one watching me

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Ah-ah, oh-oh

Oh, Professor Theremin

Play your strange antenna for me

I heard someone say it was aliens

I've been making lists of all the unexplained

Things I've seen
