Lyrics [ ]
[Verse 1]
See your body into the moonlight
Even if I try to cancel
All the pictures into the mind
There's flashing in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you see my, condition?
The fiction, is gonna run it again
Can't you see now, illusions?
Right into your mind
[Chorus]
Deja Vu, I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street, and I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet, it's so hard when I try to be me
Woah!
Deja Vu, I've just been in this time before
Higher on the beat, and I know it's a place to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet, it's so hard when I try to be me
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
See the future into the present
See my past lives in the distance
Try to guess now what's going on
And the band begins to play
