King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Tetrachromacy
[Verse 1]
I heard a story, could be true
About a colour under blue
You couldn't see it with your eyes
Or invent with intellect
[Verse 2]
Like the inverse of colourblindness
It's shrouded like a natural gas
I've got to see it for myself
Settle my own curiousness
[Chorus]
Back and forth swing like the tide
I look to the left and through to right
My three shades are divisible
Lust to see the invisible
[Verse 3]
The story man was glassy-eyed
He told me about the power lines
And in subarctic caribou eyes
The metal wires burst into life
[Verse 4]
They flick across the territory
Resplendent mackerel sky
Some of the snow absorbs UV
Unseeable crumbs in dye
[Chorus]
Picking up clues 'bout my eyes
I scrutinize the iris of the storm's eye
My three shades are divisible
Lust to see the invisible
[Refrain]
Tetrachromacy
See what I can't see
Tetrachromacy
See what I can't see
[Bridge]
Polygondwanaland
[Chorus]
Inconspicuous hue will be
Crowded camouflage to me
My three shades are divisible
Lust to see the invisible
[Refrain]
Tetrachromacy
See what I can't see
Tetrachromacy
See what I can't see
