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 reel goes round
I hear a sound
It´s comin´ out all wrong
And I swear to you
I never wrote that song

I´ve been livin´ in my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home
And all that music
I hate those lyrics
They stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you I never (wrote that song)

Oh pardon me
I´m not lookin´ for sympathy
Not sympathy
I´m just thinking out loud
The melody
It goes nowhere pointlessly
Silence be

I´ve been livin´ in my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home
And all that music
I hate those lyrics
They stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you I never (wrote that song)
