Sandpaper Grindstone

Let me record a new song on your old tape

Make a new sound

Make some loud noise

If it breaks I will fix it

Rewind and sticky tape it

Remix it, remaster it

If it scratches I’ll smooth it out

Slowly Softly

Sandpaper, grindstone

It will hurt so good

No gain without pain

Grind me

Sometimes inside me

When they go through me

Give it to me baby

Quickly now

Keep it simple

Just the wrapping

Not the gift

Not the essence

Not your shit
