From the second Phoenix album “Alphabetical” released in 2004.
The piano line is a reference to Dr Dre’s “Still”.

Hip Hop inspired Phoenix’s music a lot.
[Chorus]
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
[Verse 1]
Lost illusions
Try the best that you can do
You might get another chance
Burn my leather coat
I need to change my suit
You don't listen to a single word I say
Lies plus hidden codes equals what they do
And you're the victim of the crime
[Chorus]
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
[Verse 2]
Lately I'm not expecting you
Please forgive me
For stuff I didn't do
I sure was going to
[Chorus]
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
[Verse 3]
There're too many fingers
On the trigger
Guess how to play this game
Before you lose it
There's nothing I can do about it
[Outro]
You're starting to fall
Fall in a deeper state
Watch out
