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

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

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
To really being there

Frozen in this record
Are fingerprints and messages
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
