Loop. Starts with Bmin, D, A, E near the first fret and ends that way too. So you say you’re from an organisation Cracked my phone and laptop information You scribble down my web cam indiscretions; like A high priest taking confession. You got satellite and you got drones. You watch me naked in my home. You map everywhere I go; by GPS on my cell phone. You find my profile for an online date; Front and side profiles ID parade. Interrogate my credit card There’s no secret I can guard. My finger prints in Brazil and Russia A pinned exhibit: a lepidoptera. You got my heart out on display. Catalogued my DNA. You know everything there is to know about me. I still feel magical and I still feel free. Harmonise a frequent sample of “I still feel magical and still feel free.”
