Have you seen my hands Just look at 'em shake And the song just keeps on repeating Drop the needle again And I dance with your ghost Oh, but that ain't the way I can't move on and I can't stay the same And all my friends say Hey hey, turn the record over Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side There you go, turn the key and engine over Let 'er go, let somebody else lay at her feet But have you seen my heart Have you seen how it bleeds And the nights are so long, baby Out here in the deep The tick, ticking of hours, lonely I hear the alarm I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms But better sense says Hey hey, turn the record over Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side There you go, turn the key and engine over Let 'er go, let somebody else lay at her feet And all my friends say Hey hey, turn the record over Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side There you go, turn the key and engine over Let 'er go, let somebody else lay at her feet Where you used to be Where you used to be Where you used to be here with me
