Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have this forth experienced
I will let you into my laboratory
Filled with many things
Writing utensils, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know
[Verse 2]
Desperate am I too
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you are gone
Peaceful sleep, I have none
[Verse 3]
How can I make it better?
I'm under so much pressure
Well, I know it won't last
I know that this will pass
[Verse 4]
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Can't you understand?
[Verse 5]
I don't want to falsify
I want to make it right
Can't you see there's work to do?
I'm trying to write to you
[Verse 6]
How can I make it better?
I'm under so much pressure
Problem is, problem is
I'll give you space till you get over this
[Verse 7]
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Can't you understand?
[Verse 8]
To torture a woman
Is to feed her loneliness
So please don't leave me lonely
'Cause it's your mind that I miss
[Verse 9]
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Yeah, can't you understand?
