[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 ?
Damn, I wanna go back
[Verse 2]
Twenty years have pa**ed 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 sh** 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
