[Verse 1]
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I'm not driving
Something hasn't quite
Taken over but it's trying
[Chorus]
Oh, check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Verse 2]
The question now is time
The hours pass so slowly
I know we're moving out of line
But that's the risk you're taking with me
[Chorus]
Oh, check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Bridge 1]
I flicker like an old film - Black / White
I'm losing track of what's real - I know
My sense of timing's not quite - OK
Maybe I'll stay tonight - So so
[Verse 3]
Fadeout as in lose
My character is shrapnel
Broken by the views
Of men who claim to know all
(There is to know)
[Chorus]
Oh, check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Verse 4]
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I am no-one
Something hasn't quite
Stopped me from being someone
[Chorus]
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Bridge 2]
Something in the mirror - Check it
No photo by my bedside - Check it
My self-control is missing - Check it
I'll leave with your permission - Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Check it
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I'm not driving
Something hasn't quite
Taken over but it's trying
[Chorus]
Oh, check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Verse 2]
The question now is time
The hours pass so slowly
I know we're moving out of line
But that's the risk you're taking with me
[Chorus]
Oh, check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
Check it, check it
[Bridge 1]
I flicker like an old film - Black / White
