casio, you're holed up in the closet oh you'll never know
all the songs and beats you could've played
the nights and days are incomplete.
i saw you at the goodwill store on dearborn and my heart attacked
so i advanced
i didn't come with batteries to do test runs, i took a chance
but when i finally got you home and put you on the floor
i tapped the keyboard keys but then the speaker just snored
i checked the circuitry to see the damage done
somebody had their way with a soldering gun
no, no, no, it can't be true, something terrible has happened to you
(and now you'll never be the same)
that's not the sound i seek, that feeble hum, the 60 cycle speak
these "surgeons" hack, they act as if they'll take apart and put it back
but they got it wrong
it isn't safe, bending all your wires in ways they don't belong
an empty shell that could've been a vibraphone, a church organ, trombone, or bells
their recklessness has left you mute, and there is nothing i can do, i'm so helpless
no, no, no, it can't be true, something terrible has happened to you
(and now you'll never be the same)
that's not the sound i seek, that feeble hum, the 60 cycle speak
now you'll never be the same
now you'll never be the same
now you'll never be the same
now you'll never be the same
no, no, no it can't be true, it can't be...it can't be true
no, no, no it can't be true, it can't be...it can't be true
