Pre Amp Lyrics

[Verse]
(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
