PreAmp Lyrics
(Phil Elvrum)
I am a preamp.
Plug the cords right in my head.
I've got headphones,
Stuck right into my shirt.
I'm a guitar amp.
I bite the cord between my teeth.
My voice is the speaker,
And my eyes tell how loud I am.
I've got microphone fingers.
I don't care about phantom power,
And I know the levels,
Because I'm a preamp for everything.
(Female Vocalist)
I needed something
To make sure you could hear me
Where was i going
Did the sound just disappear?
You were recording
You kept me on a tape
(You) played it softly
Inside your headphones.
I am a beauty.
I am the voice that sounds sweet.
Playing softly,
Putting you to sleep.
(now here's where Phil gets tricky. The next two sections are sung simultaneously, Phil in the Right channel and the Female vocalist in the Left)
(Phil)
I wanted to keep you,
So I made a tape.
Now I listen,
To your voice singing to me.
(Female)
I am a beauty.
I am the voice that sounds sweet.
Playing softly,
Putting you to sleep.
(Phil)
I am a preamp,
And you're plugged into my heart.
(Female)
I am a beauty,
And I'm plugged into my heart.
I am a preamp.
Plug the cords right in my head.
I've got headphones,
Stuck right into my shirt.
I bite the cord between my teeth.
My voice is the speaker,
And my eyes tell how loud I am.
I've got microphone fingers.
I don't care about phantom power,
And I know the levels,
Because I'm a preamp for everything.
I needed something
To make sure you could hear me
Where was i going
Did the sound just disappear?
You kept me on a tape
(You) played it softly
Inside your headphones.
I am the voice that sounds sweet.
Playing softly,
Putting you to sleep.
I wanted to keep you,
So I made a tape.
Now I listen,
To your voice singing to me.
I am a beauty.
I am the voice that sounds sweet.
Playing softly,
Putting you to sleep.
I am a preamp,
And you're plugged into my heart.
I am a beauty,
And I'm plugged into my heart.
