[Verse 1]
What difference does it make if this was once upon a time
You supply the stereo and I'll supply the rhymes
I’m aided by machinery in hopes to reach your mind
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
[Verse 2]
Just a needle scratching ridges on this one-way plastic groove
My vinyl destination, my revolving imputation
I am singing and I'm playing but my lips don't have to move
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
[Bridge]
But just as loud and clear
You hear this song come through the air
It’s funny, but it's as close as I can come to really being there
[Outro]
Frozen in this record are fingerprints and messages
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now, mm-mm
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
