When Lady Gaga premiered "The Cure" at Coachella, everybody who was still semi-coherent was like, "This is different but catchy." Then she dropped the lyric video for the same song Monday and sent viewers right back on the express train to Blackoutville—you'll see why in a sec.

Helpful commenters have since typed out the full lyrics (TYSM), but not before Twitter did what it does best.
