[Verse 1]
There's a tear in the fabric
Of your favorite dress
And I'm sneaking glances
Looking for the patterns in static
They start to make sense
The longer I'm at it

[Chorus]
Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho
Ooh-wha-ho

[Verse 2]
Your heart is a river
That flows from your chest
Through every organ
Your brain is the dam
And I am the fish
Who can't reach the core

[Chorus]
Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho
Ooh-wha-ho

[Refrain]
Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
They don't tell you what you know you should want
[Chorus]
(Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho)
(Ooh-wha-ho)
Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho
Ooh-wha-ho

[Refrain]
Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
They don't tell you what you know you should want

[Outro]
Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho
Ivory lines lead, ooh-wha-ho
