The record doesn't lie
So what friend could the record be?
What secrets could the record keep?
The heart skips when the scratches are deep.
The record doesn't lie
So what side could the record take?
Will the song be forgotten if the record breaks
And it's more than what I can take?
Get me out of this party.
I showed up for the water and the wine
But I didn't sign on for the fire and the hail.
So I screamed out from the belly of the whale
Get me out, get me out, get me out
Get me out of this party
Cause it's boring, it's so uneventful.
Get me out of this party
All the rhyming is so predictable.
If it goes to the top of the modern pops
Then they'll say it again now, say it again now.
Build record shops on the mountain tops
And they'll say it again now, say it again now.
We can't keep their interest now.
Four minutes is a chore to swallow down.
What friend could the record be?
What secrets could the record keep?
Don't listen to what the preteens say
Dialed up on twenty eight eight K.
What friend could the record be?
What secrets could the record keep?
We can't keep their interest now.
They're getting down to the artifacts of sound.
What friend could the record be?
What secrets could the record keep?
Don't listen to what the cynics say.
Different words but the song's the same.
What friend could the record be?
What secrets could the record keep?
Get me out of this party
Cause it's boring, it's so uneventful
Get me out of this party
All the rhyming is so predictable.
If it goes to the top of the modern pops
Then they'll say it again now, say it again now.
Build record shops on the mountain tops
And they'll say it again now, say it again now.
