My Tape Recorder,
It Must Be Lyin'
'cause This I Just Can't Believe.
I Hear A Voice That's Cryin',
That's Not Me.

The Wheel Goes Round.
I Hear A Sound.
It's Comin' Out All Wrong.
And I Swear To You I Never Wrote That Song.

I Been Livin' In My Own Shell So Long:
The Only Place I Ever Feel At Home.

And Oh, That Music,
I Hate Those Lyrics.
It Stayed Inside Me So Long.
And I Swear To You I Never Wrote That Song.

But Pardon Me,
I'm Not Lookin' For Sympathy,
Not Sympathy.
I'm Just Thinking Out Loud.
The Melody,
It Goes Nowhere Pointlessly.
Silence Please.

I Been Livin' In My Own Shell So Long:
The Only Place I Ever Feel At Home.

And Oh, That Music,
I Hate Those Lyrics.
It Stayed Inside Me So Long.
And I Swear To You I Never.
