Test for Echo - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Here we go, vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Here we go, in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

[Verse 1]

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen

Camera curves over caved-in cop cars

Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes

Clutch at plausible deniability

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't touch that dial

We're in denial

Until the showcase trial on TV

[Chorus]

Here we go, vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

[Verse 2]

Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news

Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalk lines

Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs

Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity

Don't change that station

It's a Gangsta Nation

Now crime's in syndication on TV

[Chorus]

Here we go

What a show, vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Touch and go, in slow-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

[Post-Chorus]

Here we go, vertigo

Video vertigo

[Verse 3]

Some kind of drama live on satellite

Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom

Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets

Clutching at the straws of respectability

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't do the time?

Don't do the crime

And wind up in the perp walk on TV

[Pre-Chorus]

Here we go, vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

What a show, vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Here we go, in slow-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo
