Watch The Tapes

Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes

I get all confused when you mix up the dates....

Woah!

Don't gimme the pretend you come for the weekend

And you stay for the week

You say that you hate it but that's how you made it

Just keep it oblique

We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips

We're all suh-suh-suh sucked-in-by parlour tricks

Oh the people deceive you the kids never leave

Cuz you make them at home

You try to appease them and they show you the stick

But still you pick up the phone

But hey man, you can take it

As long as they don't shove you out in the cold

It's not getting better, no it's not getting better, man

It's just getting old

Ah ooh! we do what we're programmed to do--

Hey we do what we're told

I never remember to carry my book when I get on the bus

You never forget it's your time to collect

When they are making a fuss

We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips

We're all high high high, high high on wiggling hips

Ah ooh! you break off your plans for the weekend

And ah oh! you can tell them the dates

But that don't mean they're letting you go

Don't gimme the pretend you come for the weekend

And you stay for the year

Avoid all the plans cuz we're making our day jobs

Into a steady career

We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips

We all claw claw claw, cli-climb-on to sinking ships

And ah ooh! avoid all the cold sideways glances

And ah ooh! celebrate! celebrate! celebrate!

And then turn to stone

Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes

You turn 25 and now you're all out of escapes

C'mon

Hey the rock writer told me to tell you:

"though you're great and you're brave

You still lack that which makes you a star."

Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes

We all get a little drunk and then we act like apes

Ow!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
