Mixtape

Everything I know is you

Let me tell you what we're listening to

I'm a gentle soul I'm sure

On the stereo I'm a dictator

Do you even have a tape machine?

To facilitate my plastic dreams

All the things that I have seen from Morrissey to John Coltrane

Cinematic orchestra

De La Soul the Shangri-La's

An adolescent love letter

Sparkling jewel of manual labor

I'll make you a mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul

It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know

I'll make you a mixtape that'll charm you into bed

It details everything that's running 'round my head

'Cause it's running 'round my head

Fondling record and play

Without you it's records night and day

This ain't no disc of MP3's

This one's handmade fashioned lovingly

Plant the rhythm in your bones

You're the only angel in headphones

My love can paint a million tones

From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong

So resurrect your stereo

And the swathes of melodies will flow

Thelonious Maurizio I tell you babe it'll make your heart glow

I'll make you a mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul

It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know

I'll make you a mixtape that'll charm you into bed

It details everything that's running 'round my head
