[Verse 1]
My tape recorder, it must be lyin'
'Cause this I just can't believe
I hear a voice that's cryin'
That's not me
The wheel goes round, I hear a sound
It's comin' out all wrong
And I swear to you
I never wrote that song
[Chorus]
I been livin' in my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home
[Verse 2]
And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you
I never wrote that song
But pardon me
I'm not lookin' for sympathy, not sympathy
I'm just thinking out loud
The melody
It goes nowhere pointlessly
Silence please
[Chorus]
I been livin' in my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home
[Post-Chorus]
And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you I never
[Instrumental Outro]
