Tape Songtext

Literally the first minute I get back to town the cops, They shot a crazy lady with a screwdriver in her hand Maybe we'll have another riot, hey wouldn't that be fun, well, This time I'll get a VCR and a big screen and a gun Baby did you get the tape I sent Baby did you get the tape I sent We bombed the hospital by mistake, too bad, war is hell And then we bombed the embassy we thought was something else We might get to see World War III by Thanksgiving Day But as long as the turkey's golden brown it's all gonna be ok Baby did you get the tape I sent Baby did you get the tape I sent Hush little baby don't you cry Mama's gonna buy you a .45 And if that .45 gets recalled Mama's gonna buy you an assault rifle And if that rifle doesn't fire Mama's gonna buy you a tightrope wire To the sun Y'see everybody's a killer, everyone's deranged Every mini-mall laundromat is a mass murder waiting to happen If the Manson gang had done their thing this year, 'stead of '69 They'd be on page eleven, with the rest of the petty crime Baby did you get the tape I sent Baby did you get the tape I sent Hush little baby don't you cry Mama's gonna buy you a pilot's license And if that license gets revoked Mama's gonna buy you a periscope And if that spyglass gets all broken Mama's gonna buy you a good lotion For your insides Well baby will I ever get to spend an hour just with you I got so much to tell you, there's so much we need to do When we said goodbye there were too many people around, now I'm gettin' impatient But I thought that we locked eyes for a minute, was it just my imagination Baby did you get the tape I sent Baby did you get the tape I sent Baby did you get the tape I sent you yet
