[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
A white house, a white room, the program of today
Lights on, switch on, your eyes are far away
The map represents you and the tape is your voice
Follow all along you 'til you recognise the choice

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan "& Vince Clarke"]
I said I'd write a letter, but I never got the time
"And I'm looking to the day I mesmerise the light
The years I spend just thinking of a moment we both knew
A second boss looking into it seems it can't be true"

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

[Interlude]
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

[Outro: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
Bright light...
