Video Tape

(앨범: Plain Dirt Fashion - 1984)

If your life was on video tape
Wouldn't everything be all right?
When your head hurt the morning after
You could roll it back to late last night.

You could replay all of the good parts
And cut out what you don't like
Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape
If your life was on video tape?

If everybody had ESP
Everything would be OK
We could see trouble coming
And we could step out of the way.

When that grim reaper comes to call
We could arrange to be out of town
Oh, that would be the great escape
And you could put it on video tape.

Now I don't have a video recorder
And I don't have a crystal ball
When I'm not with my baby
Lord, I don't have very much at all.

I can't predict the future
Babe, I sure can't change the past
But I know it will all make sense
If you love me in the present tense.

If your life was on video tape
Wouldn't everything be all right?
When your head hurt the morning after
You could roll it back to late last night.

You could replay all of the good parts
And cut out what you don't like
Oh, wouldn't you be in great shape
If your life was on video tape?

If your life was on video tape
Wouldn't everything be all right?
When your head hurt the morning after
You could roll it back to late last night.
