The Tape Lyrics
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
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
Watch out if you run
Since I heard someone died at a screening downtown of a tape
Living up to everything you think of them
Such a senseless slender guy and his greater half
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
Watch out if you run
Since I heard someone cried at a screening
Downtown of a tape
Of a tape
Ok
In equal parts all that you did and that you didn't do
Was it really worth the struggle of covering up?
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
Watch out if you run
Since I heard someone died at a screening
Downtown of a tape, of a tape

this song is fantasitc, i put it on repeat and dance around a la molly ringwald
it sounds like it's about some confidential tape, honestly though i have no clue, i don't really care, it's too fantastic to worry about decoding
I saw him last night in concert and explained this song was an attempt at black mailing someone and stabbing them in the back, the funny part is the person didn't even realize it.

Haha, I agree. Fantastic song, I used to put this on repeat all the time.
