On Records, The Sound Just Fades Away |
| On records the sound just fades away |
| The players they grow smaller and smaller |
| They return to their homes in the wires |
| With one last riff and one last holler |
| And did you ever make it in tha big city, pal? |
| Or did you crash down in some rainy alleyway? |
| I saw six angels wrapping you up in newspaper |
| Ah, but that might have been a dream |
| I used to lie awake when I was five years old |
| By the Motorola radio |
| I was tryin' so hard not to go to sleep |
| So I’d know where those little people go |
| And on records the sound jus' fades away |
| The players they grow smaller and smaller and smaller |
| The return to their homes in the wires and the wax and the cassettes and |
| The chips |
| With one last little riff and one last little holler |
| Sayin' somethin like: |
| Baby I want you, baby I need you, baby I love you, oh baby I do |
| Baby I want you, baby I need you, baby I love ya, oh baby I do |
| And their little outfits get smaller and smaller |
| An' their little guitars get tiny, tiny, tiny |
| And their little waa-waa pedals get down 'bout the size of a match head |
| An' fade away |
| An' even their little semi-trucks, well they get tiny, tiny |
| An' their lttle tour buses get smaller… |
| Fade away |
| They all gotta go back to LA |
| They got a big important business meeting tomorrow morning |
| In a 25 storey building but it’s tiny, tiny, tiny |
| Gotta go back to LA |
| I hear them singin' it as they cross the Rockies |
| Baby I want you, Baby I love ya', Baby I need you, Baby I do |
