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 scrutinise 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
