Home Sweet Home

[Verse 1]
I was designed to spin you the finest tracks
I’m thin, my skin is a shiny black
Yeah, I am wax
I hibernate in my crate and I relax…
Waiting for the perfect life
For my band to sell me as merchandise
Fourty fans wait for me in line
I ain’t even been heard but I’ve already been signed
Off I go, I’m so so lucky
I’ve found me a home and my owner loves me
I spin ten times a day
He grins and sings while I play
But one night, my owner throws a party
Gets stoned and I’m stolen by somebody
Please, help ! I’m all by myself
Covered in dust on a stranger’s shelf. Damn!

[Hook]
Why d’they take me away from my home sweet home ?
Please, I wanna go back

[Verse 2]
Twenty years have passed since I’ve been strayed
I’ve hollered, I’ve cussed, I’ve begged and I’ve prayed
My cover’s colours are beginning to fade
I’m smothered in dust,‘cause I never get played
One day, I’m stuffed in a box
With busted up kicks and ugly clocks
Exposed at the market for the customers’ flux
And I’m sold to a chump for a couple of bucks
Taken home to be frantically handled
His hand pulls me back, I’m scratched and dismantled
My new owner hacks up my tracks like a vandal
My piano notes get extracted as samples
He uses and abuses me
Glues me to a beat, spews a few gooves with me, two or three
When I thought we were just getting started
He takes me back to the market

[Hook]
I can’t wait to return to my home sweet home
‘cause I’ve traveled a lot

[Verse 3]
Once again, I’m out in the cold
Exposed on the market, waiting to be sold
Far from home, feeling abandonned
A random man grabs me and I’m examined
He buys me whilst rubbing his palms
And calmly wanders off with me under his arm
I must’ve gained value by today
‘cause he put me up on eBay right away
When will this shit stop, I’m pissed off
Quickly bought again and then getting shipped off
But this time… to a known place
I’m opened and see my owner’s face
He sees the autographs, sheds a tear
We’ve both got old, it’s been over twenty years
He gives me a spin, sings to my tracks
Damn it feels good to be back… Home !

I’m so glad I returned to my home sweet home
Back to where I belong
