[Intro]
I woke up this morning in a very unusual way
Not bad, just warm and fuzzy, with a little bit of latency (Little latency)

[Verse 1]
I went to the doctor and this is what he said
"Oh my god. How are you not dead?"
Give it to me straight, doc
"You're far too chill to be walking around" Uh-huh
"Your heartbeat's so low that it's underground" Okay
"Your vision's 8-bit, your braings saturated" Oh
"But I'm afraid, it's far too late" Tell me
"You've gone"

[Chorus]
Lo-Fi
Hey doctor, can you take my temperature real quick?
Lo-Fi
"You're a million degrees, but you're still cool as s*it. Can you dig it?" I dig it
Lo-Fi
I've been flying too fast, a little too close to the sun
And now I'm ready for a slow flight, in Lo-Fi

[Post-Chorus]
I woke up this morning in a very unusual way
Not bad, just tied to a chair in the basement of the CIA
I see through the wa-alls
'Cause my vision's 8-bit, x-ray

[Verse 2]
Hi doctor "I see you're still not dead"
I'm acutely aware, doc
"You see through walls with the power within" I know
"Your muscles so distorted, you can compress steel" That's new
"Your body's out of phase" What? "Your hand's shoot vaporwaves" Oh yeah
"I'm afraid that you could be great" Tell me
"You've gone"

[Chorus]
Lo— Lo-Fi
Hey doctor, can you stop me
[flying?] in my seat?
Slow Lo-Fi
"Your vibe's so laid back, you make gravity weak. Can you dig it?" I dig it
Lo-Fi
I've been flying too fast, a little too close to the sun
And now I'm ready for a new life, as Lo-Fi

[Post-Chorus]
"This just in! A rampaging super cyclone that threatened to destroy downtown has been thrown into space by the hero known as Lo-Fi"
Lo-Fi
"'Cause if there's trouble afoot, he's never far from the scene
But it remains to be seen if this chilled out fella can stay ice cold"
(Ay, ei, oh)

[Verse 3]
I woke up this morning in a very unusual way
Not bad, in my suit above Tokyo, on a perfect, cold November day
I turn on the TV and this is what it said
"Oh my god, supervillain tryna make us dead" O
"Humans of Earth, you are under attack
But no-one is dope enough to fight me back
Your armies all quit, your people subjugated
I'm afraid, it's far too late" O
"Lay down and accept your fate" *quack*
"You're seriously almost too late" Yo
"Oh s*it!"

[Chorus]
Lo-Fi
Hey bad guy, do I have to harsh your buzz real quick?
Slow Lo-Fi
"You're a real big spliff, I prefer not to hit. Can you dig it?" I dig it
Lo-Fi
I've been flying too fast, a little too close to the sun
And now I almost found a little time to be
Lo-Fi
"He's done it again folks, Lo-Fi has saved the day!
And not just that, it looks like he's going for a classic double chorus fade out!"
Lo-Fi
"In all my three albums, I've never seen anything like it
And if anyone can pull off such a funky groove, it's Lo-Fi
And what's this? It looks like our hero is pulling out."
Lo-Fi
"A Chlavihord, this late in the fadeout? I don't believe it folks!
But I guess that's why he's the best and I'm just an uptight reporter guy"
Lo-Fi

[Outro]
"That's right, I haven't seen my kids in three weeks
My voice is kind of John Mulaney, it's getting more John Mulaney
I am doing a John Mulaney impersonation now
Eh, you can't hear it very well 'cause the music's almost quiet
But I'm very John Mulaney"
Lo-Fi
