Is This Actually On?
[Intro]
Keep the tape rolling
Keep the tape rolling, Tom
The day’s almost over
And everyone’s gone
Where did they go?
Is this actually on?
[Verse 1]
Is anybody taking minutes?
Can I call a witness?
Did they see my heart on the hit list?
I was lost in my head
Waves were crashing the banks
From an empty account
I was withdrawing blanks
Getting marked like a paper
And wondering what for
For just opening up
Or for closing the door?
[Pre-Chorus]
Trying fill up a suitcase
With some sad souvenirs
Thinking, “Never , never
Never in a million years”
[Chorus 1]
Keep the tapе rolling
Keep the tape rolling on
Herе’s one more in F
Before I flip the switch
To melt the universe, brothers
Swing hard, here’s the pitch
[Verse 2]
As the new moon erases
These dead winter blues
There are rocks in my pockets, breaks in my laces
And holes in my shoes
A heart full of memories
15-88s
A head full of numbers
And places and dates
I’m waiting in line
As they unlock the gates
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Thinking, “Maybe, maybe
I should I leave it here?
No, never, never
Never in a million years”
[Chorus 2]
Keep the tape rolling
Keep the tape rolling on
Bet 11 on 7
At 20 to 1
Then dust off the needle
And watch ‘em get spun
[Outro]
I can’t find the chorus
Is this a song?
Where’s Hollis & Morris?
Is this actually on?
