Tom Clarke - The Tape lyrics

Baby you're so popular But there are those who don't know you You are obsolete Darling you are so young But there are those, who'll outlive you You are obsolete [Chorus] I love how you try To live out the lie Enjoy the dying cry Honey you are beautiful But there is someone who'll outshine you This is obsolete When you're at the top of your game You're at the bottom of someone else's This is obsolete [Chorus] I love how you try To bury the lie But we'll be replaced tonight Enjoy the dying cry Knocking on the walls but I don't understand No longer a reason, we don't need you around Lipstick changing, colours fading Exorcism on the audio ley line Sleeping pills you don't need to take Move on, move on We don't need a ghost on the tape Static cracks you can't erase Counting lines upon your face again This is obsolete an*log sawtooth wave Catalyst of yourself, erase This is not complete [Chorus] I love how you try To sieve out the lies But we'll be replaced tonight Enjoy the dying cry Knocking on the walls but I don't understand No longer a reason, we don't need you around Lipstick changing, colours fading Exorcism on the audio ley line Sleeping pills you don't wanna take Move on, move on We don't need another ghost on the tape The shock is knocking me to the ground This is chemical lockdown Roll to me across the tables Place you someplace far more stable I can cut the excess cables Show you how to be alive In your heart we place our future In your mind we craft and tutor Sculpting you another suitor Bride for all the human race Now we don't need you please just leave You have failed and you can't see So cut yourself from earthly trestles Leave a haunting empty vessel We don't need ghosts in the tape The maker knows your time is late And if you pay me we'll repeat Human, you are obsolete This is obsolete This is obsolete This is obsolete This is obsolete
