I am a pre-amp
Plug the cords right in my head.
I've got headphones stuck right into my shirt
I'm the guitar amp
I bite the cord between my teeth.
My voice is the speaker
And my eyes tell how loud I am.

I've got microphone fingers -
I don't care about feeling power -
And I know the levels
Because I'm a pre-amp for everything.
We did something to make sure you could hear me,
Where was I going?
Did this sound just disappear?
You were recording
You kept me on auto.
You played it softly inside your headphones.

I am a beauty,
I am the voice that sounds sweet.
Playing softly, putting you to sleep.
I am a beauty,
I am the voice that sounds sweet
Playing softly, putting you to sleep
(I wanted to keep you so I made a tape,
Now I listen to your voice singing to me)
I am a beauty,
You are plugged into my heart
I am a preamp,
You are plugged into my heart.
