Lyrics:
at the windowsill
Over the ladder vault the chimney each night
And these days you still replay in my mind
On reel-to-reels steal tapes unwind
Cross our hands these
in hand a reel-to reel tape
Recorder is on cHRISTINE aims for
(but fails to achieve) a
Tone of jaunty indifference)
Give us something juicy
What was
the love in our hearts
An' some reel-to-reel tapes on my shelf
I started thinkin' 'bout you up in Milwaukee
It was rainin' when we reached Chicago
But
explain why we make the music we make
Lately I've been feeling saturated like some reel-to-reel tape
Every day that we ain't famous is just a little delay
as you exit through the tape recorder
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
to reel
The granular feel
The glow of the screen
And you're in between
I'm lost in the sound
The tape that I found
The tape that I found
What kind of fool
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK TIME
Reel after reel
Of old video tapes
Christmas Day mornings
Kids on first dates
So many moments of laughter and tears
Too
I see through the fake to the real
They get played like a tape reel to reel
Energy weight heavy on you means you need to heal
Our body's be vehicles,
do
I have something better
I'm going old school
I'll take my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show
[GPM] Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
"There's just one thing I want to say.."
[GPM] The reel to reel to reel to reel yo
"There's just one thing I want
[GPM] Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
"There's just one thing I want to say.."
[GPM] The reel to reel to reel to reel yo
"There's just one thing I want
can tape every cry
They can tape every laugh
They can turn you around so you won't know what's
Real by reel
Busy little bees recording
you I know
But it's not such a big deal
I'm gonna tape you this song on my reel to reel to reel
It's time to think twice
Make up your mind
Take me
that
And when I get to heaven gonna hit the playback
We are just tapes, we got overdubbed with your feelings
See we are reel to reel
So don't
rap, wack MC's vacate the room
Cause they suck, and that's how I feel
I'ma smack down the A&R who signed the deal
Then wrap 'round his neck yo' reel
And if you ever wanna get a deal
You should either OD off skill pills or steal my reel-to-reels (here, look)
Most of y'all emcees ain't tight as y'all
formation with a couple of boys
I take them on the road with my reel-to-reels
I'm an artist honey
You know how that feels?
It's the greatest show with
the concept caught
Break into rhythm, now we got a lot
Debates await to weigh whether to put to tape or not...
Real reel-to-reel recording
Gave it a shot, but
back rewind the tape
Try and keep your secrets safe
Cross your mind from reel to reel,
And I don't know how bad you feel
But you want to be different
There's nothing I can say
To make it all seem real
We've outlived our stay
Let's watch it reel to reel
You let me dig a hole
To bury my head under
hide
Gil Scott told me that it won’t be televised
We wreck it live
With no reel to reel
Cause real recognize real
Even in desperate times
I’m blessed
they talk
On tape like its reel to reel
But still standing next to you in the field
Fuck them niggas get yo bag up
Don’t pay em mind they to average
thigh been a fly guy
Dropped my first tape in nine five
I was just three but by the time
I could read I would see see signs read minds
Never speak tongue
tape
And the quarter-inch is reel-to-reel
And it still feels magnetically surreal
I don’t know what happened and I don’t know how
But I know I wouldn’t
