Lyrics

The recording begins
With the hiss of tape
And the whir of the machine
And then muffled words exchanged
The experts mark the place
You’re under scrutiny now
There’s the chirp of the birds
The experts mark the place
You hear the rustle of a bag
And a shot from far away
The recording ends
The tape abruptly unspools
The words they needed to hear
Fell on a deaf microphone
And the proof that you need
Is lost at sea
