[Verse 1] I am a phantom drifting through the ionosphere A silhouette upon the glass, observing the interior The city glows below, a motherboard of bone Where you, my subject, sit entirely alone A ritual of steam, heavy, black, divine You swallow shadows, drinking up the wine This morning's tragedy, a copper-plated start The frantic palpitations of a caffeine-driven heart. [Pre-Chorus] Watch me watch you While you pour that hellish brew Love me love you Bitter bitter blue [Chorus] Oh, this Depresso Espresso A bitter, manic tide There is nowhere left for the vacancy to hide You are the subject, the weight, the heavy leaden thing Caught in the wires of a cold and cosmic ring (Oh the jittery blue) Depresso Espresso, darling I am orbiting you [Verse 2] I could rearrange the planets, I could dim the light But I prefer the theatre of your lonely night You're counting seconds by the drip upon the tray Chasing the ghosts that never truly went away I am the king of the void, riding the metal shell While you stir your porcelain, inventing your own hell It's quite the performance, this mechanical despair The way you freeze the oxygen right out of the air. [Pre-Chorus] Watch me watch you While you pour that hellish brew Love me love you Bitter bitter blue [Chorus] Oh, this Depresso Espresso A bitter, manic tide There is nowhere left for the vacancy to hide You are the subject, the weight, the heavy leaden thing Caught in the wires of a cold and cosmic ring (Oh the jittery blue) Depresso Espresso, darling I am orbiting you [Bridge] The jitter is the rhythm of the modern race A dark-roast sorrow on a pale, illuminated face The stars are frozen, indifferent, and precise I'm just here to witness the breaking of the ice. [Outro] Depresso Espresso... Depresso Espresso... Darling I am orbiting you
