Sir Simon Battle:Tapes Tunes Microphones & Lies

you are chewing your fingernails
I am biting my lip
there are 45 minutes left for the parts we where trying to skip
every brilliant idea turns to a conventional phrase
in the moment we say it loud
in our numerous moments of daze

and I've been trying to stay sober
while you tried so hard to get drunk
tell us a part of the story we hardly remember
about tapes tunes microphones and lies

I am telling obvious lies
you are ready to leave
and if I had a lower voice maybe you would believe me
so put up your hands and i'll put up mine
let's keep on pretending everthing is fine
give me a sign and i'll go as I came
over and over again

and I've been trying to stay sober
while you tried so hard to get drunk
tell us a part of the story we hardly remember
about tapes tunes microphones and lies
