Tape Machine - STRFKR

Thin and white and kinky hair

A shadow’s climbing up the wall

Your letter lying near the phone

With honors for the patient one

I know your dark side is stronger than you think

You always were underneath

Was this trouble your nature?

Why can’t you shake it

Even like this?

Was this trouble your nature?

Why can’t you say it

Even like this?

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

They always have so much to say

And no one there who cared to hear

I know your darkness better than you think

While all your old lovers falling on their knees

And all their hearts exploding underneath

You always were good to me

Was this trouble your nature?

Why can’t you shake it

Even like this?

Was this trouble your nature?

Why can’t you say it

Even like this?

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why
