Met a man in an ad
Who turned into a friend
Vinyl in pizza boxes
Was the way it went
Back when the telephone
Lived on the wall
To ask about the music
Meant a long distance call
The record man
Knows happiness
You wouldn't understand
Unless you heard the tracks
The secrets were hidden in the wax
He'd go to place faraway
Bring back treasure
Knowing he'd need it one day
When life ran out of pleasure
