The Tape

Now they're calling for the second time today Asking for to borrow those two tapes again Is it really worth the struggle of covering up? On the brink and learning how to live with it Got experience from method toting deep within And they say it's so inflammable Am I caught in a trap with all the remains of a letdown? All the remains of a letdown Speak out if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone died at a screening downtown of a tape Now they're running round drawing circles and Living up to everything you think of them Such a senseless slender guy and his greater half On a mission for the local government Looking for a tape that's gonna pay the rent And they say it's so inflammable The cats will whine the dogs will itch So bury the beat and forget them Raise the remains of a letdown Speak out if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone cried at a screening Downtown of a tape Of a tape OK Now it's coming out the story we all knew In equal parts all that you did and that you didn't do Was it really worth the struggle of covering up? Leave it playing till it spells the ending back Is this what happens if you suffer like a cardiac? Will you beg to be excused for always dumbing down Or wrenching up Now all that's left is a letdown The view in reverse of a letdown Speak up if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone died at a screening Downtown of a tape, of a tape --- The Tape - Sondre Lerche and The Faces Down Quartet
