A psychedelic pop paradise convulsing in 5/4, “WTF?” is the distortion-led opener to ‘'Of the Blue Colour of the Sky’‘ inspired by Prince’s soul and funk.
A music video directed by Tim Nackashi and OK GO shows the members in a green screen using a delayed image effect to create a psychedelic theme....
[Intro]
What…the…
[Verse 1]
I've been trying to get my head around
What the fuck is happening
I've been trying to make some sense out of
Whatcha do with my head
[Chorus]
(High, high) It's like a skydive
(High, high) Or getting high
(High, high) The kinda thing'll maybe kill ya
(High, high) It's like I'm eye-to-eye
(High, high) With a wild lion
(High, high) Ooh, I don't know what to tell ya
There's just this thing about ya
[Verse 2]
So maybe you can help me clear this up
'Cause me, myself, I just can't tell
Are you some kind of dark sorcerer?
Am I under some kind of spell?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I can go on for days
Just crazy about it, oh
You're so respectable
Mmm, but a little bit animal
[Chorus]
(High, high) It's like a skydive
(High, high) I'm getting high
(High, high) The kinda thrill that could just kill ya
(High, high) It's like I'm eye-to-eye
(High, high) With a wild lion
(High, high) Ooh, I don't know what to tell ya
There's just this thing about ya
[Verse 3]
Now, aren't you gonna tell me what comes next?
Or am I just supposed to know?
Do I make my own decisions here?
Or am I under your control?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I'm like this for days
Crazy about it, oh
And it's starting to get, you know
A little bit uncomfortable
[Chorus]
(High, high) It's like a skydive
(High, high) Or getting high
(High, high) The kinda thrill'll maybe kill ya
(High, high) It's like I'm eye-to-eye
(High, high) With a wild lion
(High, high) Ooh, I don't know what to tell ya
[Outro]
(High, high) Do you think I'm out of line?
(High, high) Do you think I'm out of…?
(High, high) Or maybe it's fine, oh, maybe it's alright
It's like I'm eye-to-eye (High, high)
(High, high) With a wild lion (Wild lion)
(High, high) Yeah, and I don't know what to tell ya
I don't know what to tell ya
There's just this thing about ya
