Tape Deck |
From my tape deck there’s a recklessness |
Inflections of the world we want |
All my friends, my rusty truck |
We’re just specs of love, directionless |
We’ll call this band just what we want |
We can change the name from month to month |
Four guitars and zero drums |
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk |
In a world post punk |
My friend had an old guitar |
He took some lessons, didn’t get very far |
An Ibanez with one knob stuck |
Said you can have that thing for fifty bucks |
Loren got a bass but he got no amp |
We borrowed Skill’s, we never gave it back |
Luke was just learning how to strum |
But since he was the worst |
We made him play the drums |
Play the drums |
You may find in the palm |
Of your hand there’s a flame |
As it burns, as it climbs |
As it turns to a blaze |
Well this flame, it won’t last |
Here it comes, hold it close |
Because this blaze can be fast |
Set it free now there it goes |
Luke’s mom said that after school |
We could rehearse in the living room |
But that sure didn’t last too long |
Guess she didn’t know we played Fugazi songs |
Play these songs in the talent show |
And all of the girls will be in the front row |
But in the end we just chickened out |
Because we can’t sing, we can only shout |
Only shhhhhhh… |
You may find in the palm |
Of your hand there’s a flame |
As it burns, as it climbs |
As it turns to a blaze |
Well this flame, it won’t last |
Here it comes, hold it close |
Well this blaze can be fast |
Set it free now there it goes |
