lyrics without permission

PLAY MYSELF SOME MUSIC

it's so quiet in here, hear the pin drop
oh what can i do?
there's nothin' to do, just plop down in a chair
listen to some tunes

play myself some music
listen to side 2 first
play myself some music
pretend i did not lose you

i been so sad all day, watching the clock
oh what could i do?
my life is a bore, just lay down in the floor
listen to some songs

play myself some music
listen to side 3 first
play myself some music
pretend i did not lose you

a ballad makes me think of you
a rocker makes me think of us
but silence makes me cry

i got all these records, but it's such a chore
to choose one
but i must play the game, get settled in the phones
listen to LPs

play myself some music
listen to side 4 first
play myself some music
pretend i did not lose you

play myself some music
listen to side 1 first
drink myself some whiskey
pretend i did not lose you

a rocker makes me think of us
but silence makes me cry
silence makes me cry.
