The critic mind is here today The same old thing as yesterday In the shower, the yard, and on the bike It´s cold as ice
Spoil the picnic, spoil the fun Spoilin´ ad nauseam In the universe, the clouds are clear And my baby´s here
The sorry words I tell myself (It´s playin´ again, it´s playin´ again) The ancient thoughts of someone else (It´s playin´ again, it´s playin´ again)
And once in a while You turn up the dial To an old tape playin´ in my head To an old tape playin´ in my head I´ll tune it out and live instead I´ll tune it out and live instead
What did I find in a broken heart?
A pig, a dig, and a faulty start You´re more gentle than I´ll ever be So be gentle with me
The sorry words I tell myself (It´s playin´ again, it´s playin´ again) The ancient thoughts of someone else (It´s playin´ again, it´s playin´ again)
And once in a while You turn up the dial To an old tape playin´ in my head To an old tape playin´ in my head I´ll tune it out and live instead I´ll tune it out and live instead
I´ll tune it out and live instead I´ll tune it out and live instead
I´ll tune it out and live instead
And once in a while You turn up the dial To an old tape playin´ in my head I´ll tune it out and live instead
