Watch the Tapes

I get all confused when you mix up the dates

Woo!

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 to keep it oblique

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

We're all su-su-su-sucked in by parlor tricks

All the people deceive you, the kids never leave 'cause 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

And ah-woo, we do what we're programmed to do

Hey, we do what we're told

Oh woo-hoo

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

You never forget when it's your time to pay up 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

And ah-woo, you break off your plans for the weekend

And ah-woo, you can tell them the dates but that don't mean they're letting you go

Oh woo-hoo

Go!

Oh woo-hoo

Don't gimme the pretend, you come for the weekend and you stay for the year

Avoid all your plans 'cause 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, claw, climb on to sinking ships

And ah-woo, avoid all the cold sideways glances

And ah-woo, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate and then turn to stone

Y-you turn twenty-five and now you're all out of escapes, go

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"

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