Was it destiny?
I don't know yet.
Was it just by chance?
Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear,
Now I'm always touched by your presence, dear.
When we play at cards you use an extra sense.
(it's really not cheating)
You can read my hand, I've got no defense.
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear,
I am always touched by your presence, dear.
Floating pass the evidence of possibilities.
We could navigate together,psychic frequencies.
Coming into contact with outer entities.
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.
Stay awake at night and count your r.e.m.'s when you're talking with your super friends.
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.

    General Comment:the first blondie album i had was "the greatest hits of deborah harry and blondie", which had a really neat design that convinced me that the printed lyrics must be correct as in "official".
    it also had the "it's really not true" line, so obviously some intern transscribed the lyrics ... stupid cheapo compliations.

    General Comment:It's definitely cards. If you have seen the video, you can SEE she says "cards" - she doesn't close her lips to say "bars".

    Agree with vlin though, re the meaning. And the video is fantastic - Debbie looks great.

    General Comment:A romantic relationship between two people who are connected at such a deep level that they are psychically in tune with one another. One of my favorite love songs ever.
