  • Freeze-frame

    I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday
    Slow-motion weekdays stare me down
    Her lipstick reflex got me wound
    There were no defects to be found
    Snapshot image froze without a sound

    Thursday morning was a hot flash-factor
    Her face still focused in my mind
    Test-strip, proof-sheet love is hard to find
    Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind
    Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine

    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame, now freeze

    Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
    Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
    Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear
    Her hot-spot love for me is strong
    This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong

    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame, now freeze

    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame, now freeze

    Freeze-frame
    Freeze-frame
    Like a freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
    Freeze-frame
    It's like the freeze, she's breeze
    Freeze-frame
    It's like the freeze, she's
    Freeze-frame
    Freeze-frame

  • Esskayess from Dallas, TxGreat song and a wonderfully off-the-wall video that I saw many times. Check it out online.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhThis was a great song at the time it came out. Not sure how well it stands the test of time. The only words I ever knew to it were "Freeze Frame! Freeze Frame!" And yes, the keyboarding definitely drives the song in the very best way.
  • Tim from Springfield, MaNo comments?! I guess it IS easy to forget this gem
