Verse 1

Everyone I talk to says that life’s a choreAnd every day is boring just like the one beforeBut I guess I have a special gift, a sense that comes and goesI can see the future is a story that no one knowsIt’s truly mysterious when I feel it washing over meBut I’ve finally found a word to fit such unfamiliarity

Chorus 1

It's Véjà duAnd it's happening more and moreIt's Véjà duFeels like I've never done this beforeIt's Véjà du. Who are you?I'm sure we've never metSo have a seat, we’ll have a drinkLife’s as good as it can get

Verse 2

No one seems to notice they're stuck in a routineTrying not to rock the boat and keep their records cleanBut I've got a premonition I admit it's very strangeA supernatural insight into unavoidable changePhenomena like this surpass our cognitive agilitySo we need a term to help describe such unpredictability

Chorus 2

It’s Véjà du, and it’s happening once againIt’s Véjà du, and it’s more than chemicals in my brainIt’s Véjà du and it’s true, no matter what you believeSo settle back, have another drinkAs we toast to Joie de vivre

Bridge

Maybe I had a dream in whichNone of this took placeOr maybe I met a girl just like youBut with a different faceOr maybe I'm really psychicIn a backwards sort of way'Cuz the only thing I’m sure ofIs I don’t know what you’re about to say

Chorus 3

It’s Véjà du, and it knocks me to the floorIt’s Véjà du, I’m sure I’ve never been here beforeIt’s Véjà du and it’s new, but it messes with your headSo just relax, stay a whileThere's so much we haven't said

Coda

The world is always changingAs experience has shownSo buckle up and enjoy the rideEmbracing the unknown
