lyrics

Rays of light and the nights of wonder
Plain as day when you colour by numbers
All looks sound on first impression
Laid to waste misapprehension

Hidden wires appear for certain
From behind, beyond the curtain
Etch-a-sketching, stretching elastic
Sparks have flown to light the fantastic

Trip the receptor
Gather by eye
Obscure vision
I cannot describe
I believed it to be true
And then in the confusion
Another double take
It was just an illusion
When you trip the receptor

Blink an eye and miss deception
Pull the strings, there’s no reflection
No reveal - all smoke and mirrors
Fell for it hook, line and sinker

Flip the receptor
Gather by eye
Obscure visions
That can’t be denied

Believed it to be true
When I came to conclusion
It wasn’t what it seemed
It was just an illusion
When you flip the receptor

Trip the receptor
Gather by eye
Unclear visions
So hard to describe
Believing through and through
In a state of confusion
Another double take
It was just an illusion
When you trip the receptor
