(Phil Elvrum)

I am a preamp

Plug the cords right in my head

I've got headphones

Stuck right into my shirt

I'm a guitar amp

I bite the cord between my teeth

My voice is the speaker

And my eyes tell how loud I am

I've got microphone fingers

I don't care about phantom power

And I know the levels

Because I'm a preamp for everything

(Female Vocalist)

I needed something

To make sure you could hear me

Where was i going

Did the sound just disappear?

You were recording

You kept me on a tape

(You) played it softly

Inside your headphones

I am a beauty

I am the voice that sounds sweet

Playing softly

Putting you to sleep

(now here's where Phil gets tricky. The next two sections are sung simultaneously, Phil in the Right channel and the Female vocalist in the Left)

(Phil)

I wanted to keep you

So I made a tape

Now I listen

To your voice singing to me

(Female)

I am a beauty

I am the voice that sounds sweet

Playing softly

Putting you to sleep

(Phil)

I am a preamp

And you're plugged into my heart

(Female)

I am a beauty

And I'm plugged into my heart
