[Intro: Background Singers]
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah
Ah ah, oo-ah-ah

[Verse 1: Felix and Background Singers, Background Singers, Felix]
I, (I)
I, I
I caught in a gallery (Caught in a gallery, caught in a gallery, caught it in a gallery) (I caught it in a gallery)
A painting that was called "The Scream" (That was called, that was called) (Called "The Scream", called "The Scream", called "The Scream")
On a day I fear nowhere (A day I fear nowhere, a day I fear nowhere) (Oo, ah)

I, (I, I, I)
I stood before it aimlessly (Before it aimlessly, before it aimlessly, before it aimlessly)
The figure seemed so close to me (Seemed so close to me, seemed so close to me, seemed so close to me) (Ee-ya)
It's with me everyday (It's with me everyday, it's with me everyday, it's with me everyday)

What's the matter with me? (What's the matter with me? What's the matter with me? What's the matter with me?)
What's the matter, with me? (What's the matter, with me, with me?) (What's the matter, with me? What's the matter, with me?)
What's the matter with me? (What's the matter with me?) (Oo)
Is it internal, or externally?
[Chorus: Felix]
Sometimes I wanna scream like that
Sometimes I wanna hear that sound
Sometimes I wanna hold my face
And feel the world turning upside-down, and all around

The colors swirl endlessly
And everywhere the colors bleed
Is everything I've never known
Screaming back at me (me, me, me)

[Verse 2: Felix and Background Singers, Background Singers, Felix]
Real fake (Real fake, real fake, real fake) (Is anybody listening?)
Fake real (Fake real, fake real, fake real)
Is it a real fake? (Is it a real fake? Is it a real fake?) (Is anybody listening?)
Or is it ecstasy? (Or is it ecstasy? Or is it ecstasy? Or is it ecstaty?) (Or is it just a dream?)

In sound (In sound, in sound, in sound) (Ah)
I couldn't run away (I couldn't run away, I couldn't run away, I couldn't run away)
All around, it's around (It's around, it's around)
It was coming from me anyway (Coming from me anyway, coming from me anyways, coming from me)

[Chorus: Felix]
Sometimes I wanna scream like that
Sometimes I wanna hear that sound
Sometimes I wanna hold my face
And feel the world turning upside-down, and all around
The colors swirl endlessly
And everywhere the colors bleed
Is everything I've never known
Screaming back at me (me, me, me)

[Post-Chorus: Felix, (Harry)]
In the wild, wild free (Oo)
The wild, wild free (Oo)
It's you and me (Oo)
In the wild, wild free (Oo)

[Outro: All, (Harry)]
Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Painted by a mad man, a mad man (Oo)

Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Painted by a mad man, a mad man (Oo)

Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Can only have been (Oo)
Painted by a mad man, a mad man (Oo)
