Alexia, Alexia I just wanna sit next to ya
Crack the code that folds around your brain
Alexia, Alexia I just wanna swap text with ya
But you hit send from your own astral plane
Kanji and emoji, whorls and fractal blooms
Interrobangs and asterisks are swirling through the room
shining out at angles and escaping
It’s a weird geometry, curly Qs and runes
Petroglyphs or hieroglyphs, it’s all a jumbled tune.
I can’t ken a single thing you’re saying
Alexia, Alexia I just wanna sit next to ya
Crack the code that folds around your brain
Gibberish and non sequiturs, a language from a planet
orbiting a star that sits here only as a metaphor
Subjects hang and predicates are waiting
You’re sending out a file that’s corrupted in sections
All of it uncatalogued or riddled with infections
Is it what I hear or how you say it?
Alexia, Alexia I just wanna sit next to ya
Alexia, Alexia
(I think you know what you said
but I don’t know what I heard You think you know what you said
I think you know what you said but you don’t know what I heard)
