HEADPHONES

Shut out the world
I can shut out the world
Any time this life of mine has got me seeing red
I smoke a little pot
Cuz that’s all I’ve ever got
And I listen to the music and the voices in my headphones

Usually, I can take it 9 to 5
I can remember that I’m being paid to work, not being paid to be respected
Still there are days when the reminders of who is who and who is what are just a bit too much
That’s okay – I’ve got a way to come down that’s pretty much perfected

Chorus

People walk and people talk and people bump into you on the bus
I guess having a cell phone is like having a license to be rude
Now I am hardly anti-social – you know you can stop by my place almost any time
And I’ll show you what I know about smoothing out your mood

Chorus

headphones by boop boop

red wire, green wire
which should i choose?
such intense concentration
heavy metal and i'm sucking the fumes
almost got the connection

uh-oh
piling wires and molten hiss
how did it ever come to this?
radio shack,
what do i lack?
i just want to fix my jack

fixing the jack
fixing the jack on my headphones

toys out, boy scout
do it yourself
now i'm burning my fingers
wishing that i would have paid someone else
almost got it..got it...got it

uh-oh
half of my wire's fucking stripped
soldering into deeper shit
radio shack,
what do i lack?
i just want to fix my jack

First time caller
But I've been listening for so long
That I've forgotten
The words of my favorite song

Seems like every generation
Suffers a little more loss
Of the total population
It's a terrible cost

Coming from the left and the right
Coming through loud and clear
I'm gonna close my eyes
And hope you disappear

Best foot forward
You've been thundering from that chair
Look what you've gotten
From rallying the troops out there

Seems like every bad decision
Suffers the fool so glad
Like a child's secret mission
Hidden from dear old dad

Coming from the left and the right
Coming through loud and clear
I'm gonna close my eyes
And cover up my ears
With my headphones
With my headphones

Coming through loud and clear
Coming from the left and the right
I'll cover up my ears
So I can sleep at night
With my headphones
With my headphones
With my headphones

Headphones
Chris Cogott

He's still living at home
He's waiting for the right girl to come along
Afraid to take a chance on his own

His mother tells him she's tired of washing his clothes
Everyday he hears how he has to move on
So he goes into his room and shuts the door

He puts his headphones on
With the music loud he tries to drown out the
Sound of his mother's desperate pleas

She goes to work every morning
Waits at the station alone again
The train arrives to take her away

She stares out the window hopes for a better way
It's the same routine everyday
Right next to her there's an empty seat

She puts her headphones on
Turns the music loud and tries to drown out
The sound of the silence and the city

Then one day he takes that empty seat
She listens to her music tries to look discreet
He asks her “what's that song you're listening to?”

She takes one headphone off
And gives it to him
He has a listen and he's liking what he hears
And now they're sharing headphones
He likes her's and she likes his
He's got a big surprise for mom
They're getting married and she's moving in
(one big happy family)
She's moving in

I want to share my headphones with you
I want to give you half my lunch
We'll listen to anything you want

Since the first day we met
I've been floating on a silver cloud
I hope I never come back down

Just tell me what you want to hear
I'll play it for you
My voice a fixture in your ears
I'm there beside you

I want to spend all my nights with you
I want to sleep in the same bed
Then we'll never ever sleep alone again

I'll hold your hand when you are near
I'll look right into your eyes
Everything is perfect when you smile

My heart is beating in your ear
like a stethoscope you always hear
lying with your head upon my chest
half a headphone, you don't need the rest

I want to share my headphones with you
I'll be your DJ every day
How's that for a dedication yeah

Show me all your happy places
Everything that makes you smile
I'll always be your main attraction girl
