Radiohead – Videotape<\/a> (click for song)<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/p>\n

\n

When I’m at the pearly gates
\nThis’ll be on my videotape
\nMy videotape
\nMy videotape<\/p>\n

When Mephistopheles is just beneath<\/strong>
\nAnd he’s reaching up to grab me<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one for the good days
\nAnd I have it all here
\nIn red blue green
\nIn red blue green<\/p>\n

You are my center when I spin away
\nOut of control on videotape
\nOn videotape…<\/i><\/p>\n

This is my way of saying goodbye
\nBecause I can’t do it face to face
\nSo I’m talking to you before it’s too late<\/p>\n

No matter what happens now
\nI shouldn’t be afraid
\nBecause I know today has been the most perfect day I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
