This tape deck is starting to repeats itself
That's alright, Springsteen's the only tape you've got
And every time the circus rolls into town, I want to leave
I keep on saying "New Jersey's not the whole world"
And when I think of those nights we'd go drive into the city
We never thought we'd get old or you would die so young
And now when I'm alone I read books in your tone
This tape deck is starting to eat itself
That's alright, no one listens to tapes no more
And when the circus rolls into town, it's time grieve
No one seems to come out to my shows no more
And when I think of those Fridays we'd go drinking in the city
Never thought that we'd get old
We wanted to die so young
