Double Take (Harry/Stein)

Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Blazing waves of heat I press on in tiny bursts of speed
Caught in my pursuit I pay the fetishist admission
The longing that I feel drives me mad in no direction
Nailed by something cute I tear it out with micro-surgical precision

Incender, put some gas on the ember
Lightning goes to ground
Incender, crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again, was it your face?
Double take, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

Another flash of face, igniting and familiar
Pulls me by the eye to the perimeter
Riveting my gaze, is that your face in the crowd?

Incender, drop some gas on the ember
I felt a slap in the face
Incender, crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again, was it your face?
I fell awake, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again [Looking for your face where it could never be]
Was it your face? [I'm following a trail that only I can see]
Double take, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

I'm following a trail that only I can see
