The first taste of the duo’s third studio album, “Sushi King” is an electronic ode to the post-disco era with a modern kick to it. The track sees Dahlström calling out an old flame who’s slowly coming back onto the scene and features glittery synths accompanied by pitch-bent vocals.
[Verse 1]
I was naive, I was
Or I was totally over you
I thought I left you to pity
Over at Party City
Write it down
You got much on your mind, dah
This town's too small for the both of us, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
What are you doin' back?
What are you doin' back?
[Chorus]
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
[Verse 2]
It all make sense to me now
You and your upscale trainers
It's eas-easy to see C
When you play the tape reverse
I flash the UV and you're all lit up
Like you playing the cards with the cards face up
I'm decoding badder than Alan Turing now
[Chorus]
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
[Bridge]
(Now, now, now he needs a plan)
(Now, now, now she needs a plan)
(Now whether we need a plan)
(What everybody need is a plan)
(What everybody need is a plan)
(A plan, a plan)
Ah-wha-what's the new game you're playing?
Ah-wha-what's the new game-
New game you're playing?
Baby
[Chorus]
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
You see the Long-Time-Gone
Is sneaking around again
Freddy saw him last night
Tip on take out at Sushi King
[Outro]
What are you doing back?
