Wires and Cords
Once in a while I wake up
I step all around the pieces on the floor,
Wires and cords, and records, and tapes
Left over from a party last night I had all by myself
Every single bit of it, left on a tape I made
And I'll find it one day washed out in your head
We’ll be holding hands with nothing in the air
We’ll have our own wires and cords, and I’ll hear what you say
Then you’ll hear me too, every single moment that I spend with you
I’ll put on a tape to find one day and cut it into endless loops
And get some nice headphones
I walk around the town I live, listening to you
Drooling and melting about the way we used to fight
I'll find a tape that I made of you and walk around
Listening to your voice in headphones
And that will be the gem of our relationship
I'll hear what you say and you'll hear me too
Hot Chocolate
Road that goes from her house to my house,
Darkened by the long gone sunset
Trees hang over and make it even darker
I pass by them every single time
There's a ghost that lives right above me
Floating dead but never been alive
Not a boy or girl and only at night
Scrapes my tummy out, makes it hollow
She fills me up like drinking hot chocolate,
Sweet and warm and she's my honey
When I have to go home, we're both so sad
After that, I'm awfully lonely
Soundwaves
Soundwaves surround us
One waves comes later
The two waves together
Crossed lines at bottom and top
Soundwaves
Two waves together
They're complex like two eyes
Or headphones, right and left
Right and left
I Think We're Alone Now (Tommy James & The Shondells Cover)
“Children behave”
That's what they say when we're together
“And watch how you play”
They don't understand and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say,
“I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now”
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta’ hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say if they ever knew?
And so we're runnin' just as fast as we can,
Holdin' on to one another's hand,
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say,
“I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now”
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Buzz Buzz
I'm okay, let me go
I've been here way too long
I'm okay, let me go
You’ve had me way too long
Don't worry about my plans,
I’m leaving
Goodbye, so long
Just please understand,
I’ve been here way too long
I'm ready, I'm busy
Just back away
I’m winning, I've got plans
I turned out great
I'm okay, let me go
I've been here way too long
I'm okay, let me go
You’ve had me way too long
I'll escape just in time
You're all just on my nerves
I'm happy by myself
I'm finished with this part
I'm okay, I'll escape
Let me go
Monsters
High-pitched treble monster
Floating in the air, digging in my ears
Low-pitch bass monster,
Hiding in the back
The corner of the room he's in, it’s all black
High-pitched treble monster
Pokes my eyes
Low-pitch bass monster telling me what to do,
I can't see him but he's telling me what to do
High-pitched treble monster lives in the woods
Spins around and cuts trees down, in the woods
Low-pitch bass monster lives in a rotten stump,
Only comes out, dark at night, telling me what to do
High-pitched treble monster lives in puke,
Stings my tummy and my eyes, pokes me with needles, too
Low-pitch bass monster lives inside of the books,
Nobody really knows exactly how he looks
High-pitched treble monster right in front of my face,
Poking me with needles and winning every race
Low-pitch bass monster is going pretty slow, big like a bomb, low
High-pitched treble monster digs in everyone's ear,
Feeds off everyone's fear
Their friends shape sound waves, wiggle all around
The Battle for Tape Deck Mountain

Headphones (Version 2)
I’m in Rhode Island, you know what I need (headphones, headphones)
I need some headphones, a pair of headphones (indistinguishable)
It’s all I can hear, because of my ears (I’m inside them)
You’re in my headphones, I can’t let you go (headphones, headphones)
You’re all I can hear, although I can’t see you (You can’t see me)
You want some headphones, really bad, to listen to me
(indistinguishable)
You’ll listen to me all the time (?)
(indistinguishable in most parts, until end)
