about

Microphone is the fifth single and the fourth original song extracted from the new LP #ICDC.
This song has a sound that looks back to the past and might as well have been on #Sadomasokissme.

lyrics

When I wake up in the morning,
I know it’s better I pinch my nose coz I smell like a cow
I put on my slippers, I go in my bath,
only a shower can solve my problem, but…

When I wake up in the morning, I am all sweat
you don’t know how much I hate the water in my hair
I have tried to dry it, but between my legs
I am so wet again and all I need is…

[Ch.]
I need a hairdryer in the bath
But all I got’s a microphone
and I sing in the mirror

Now another doubt:
I don’t want to wash, please
but I can’t go outside with the dirt on my knees
I really gotta go, there’s a ringing bell
But I need a bath or I’ll be smelling like hell

When I wake up in the morning, I am all sweat
you don’t know how much I hate the water in my hair
I have tried to dry it, but between my legs
I am so wet again and all I need is…

[Ch.]
I need a shower head in the bath
But all I got’s a microphone
and I sing in the shower
I love my microphone, I’m so glad
But this fucking microphone sure’s no use in the shower

If you wanna be like me
baby, there’s a price to pay
I am asleep in my bedroom and now I live in a castle,
in my dreams…

“So many people around my microphone,
I want to understand… why”
“So many creatures slain by my sword,
so many meanings… a microphone”
The story never ends.

[Ch.]
I need my microphone ‘til the end
Just a real microphone, I want out of the bathroom
My dirty microphone now I know
I smell like a rock star and I’m sure I’m not alone!
