Alice Cooper

I Never Wrote Those Songs

My tape recorder,
it must be lyin'
'cause this I just can't believe.
I hear a voice that's cryin',
that's not me.

The wheel goes round.
I hear a sound.
It's comin' out all wrong.
And I swear to you I never wrote that song.

I been livin' in my own shell so long:
the only place I ever feel at home.

And oh, that music,
I hate those lyrics.
It stayed inside me so long.
And I swear to you I never wrote that song.

But pardon me,
I'm not lookin' for sympathy,
Not sympathy.
I'm just thinking out loud.
the melody,
it goes nowhere pointlessly.
Silence please.

I been livin' in my own shell so long:
the only place I ever feel at home.

And oh, that music,
I hate those lyrics.
It stayed inside me so long.
And I swear to you I never.
