The tape turns slowly Taking its time I hear the same music With different ears now As it spills To my thoughts I react to the words With different ways now And the whites of my eyes Turn red Is it always like this And the hours Tighten around my neck And the whites of my eyes Turn red Is it always like this And the hours Tighten around my neck The sirens at night Never stop screaming Repeating the sirens Get louder and louder Now The sirens at night Never stop screaming Repeating the sirens Get louder and louder Now
