My Old Record Songtext
von The Eastern

So don′t be a stranger
You know we'll always have
Four cold dollars
And a love that went bad

And my old record
Goes around in my head
Like the turning of moons in the sky
And my old line
The one that I said
"I′ll love you like the sun in the sky"

So don't be out late
Or you just might find
You lose your shadow
On a single white line
Like a falling down house
Makes no sense at all
Like someone you knew
And then they laugh


And my old record
Goes around in my head
Like the turning of moons in the sky
And my old line
The one that I said
"I'll love you like the sun in the sky"

But oh, can′t you see?
That I′m just the fallen one
The left-hand still smoking
Something you just didn't see
I′m the tall, lit, and stupid one
The one with the plastic gun
The girl you just didn't see

You told me to make a boat
A small folded paper ship
And sail it out to sea
Now the waves are like dinosaurs
They′re gnashing their biting jaws
They're coming to swallow me
To swallow me


And my old record
Goes around in my head
Like the turning of moons in the sky
And my old line
The one that I said
"I′ll love you like the sun in the sky"
