The Krapp's Last Tape Lyrics


Return to your future, another kingdom, voice from tape

Come back to your future, still in your kingdom, happy date

This is the present time, falls from the Krapp's last tape

The Old Man's searching for his own pain

What makes you happy now falls from the Krapp's last tape

Written forever into red rain...

All those furious letters, completed visions, voice from tape

All those destroyed papers, unspoken reasons, happy date

Unnamed...dead verses...dead lines...oral rape

Unscared...temptations...headlines...odious tape

All my hopes are closed in amber trinket

All my life exist in golden box

My living daylights, to them I surrender

I gave them my rights, my voice's my defender

Starring through the eyes of dying fate

All my love is gone with crying Lord

His tears of distrust, to them his surrender

Who's falling in love when death's growing faster

All my present time, when I listen to my past

I need to cross my mind

I need to read between the lines, I need to fight against disgust

From the darkest hour I hear voice from nothing blood

I hear scream and shout

Living box, my book of life, my eternal source of proud

I believe my lovin' tape

It's my fate, my childhood

I believe my glorious times

I still need my lovin' tape

It's such great, such righteous

I still need my glorious times
