PreAmp Songtext
von the Microphones

I am a preamp
Plug the chords right in my head
I′ve got headphones
Stuck right into my shirt
I'm a guitar amp
I bite the chord 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


I needed something
To make sure you could hear me
Where was I going?
Did the sound just disappear?
When you were recording
You kept me on a tape
And played it softly
Inside your headphones

I am the beauty
I am the voice that′s in sleep
Playing softly
Putting you to sleep

I wanted to keep you
So I made a tape
Now I′m listening
To your voice singing to me

I am a preamp
And you're plugged into my heart
