[Verse 1]
Fm
I curse the day I bought that phonograph for you, my dear
Eb C7 Fm
For there are times I swear that it's alive
C7 Db7
I chase at night the whispering from the music room so clear
Ab C7 Fm
But I'm mocked with silent scorn when I arrive
Fm
I try to play Caruso but the needle skips the groove
Eb C7 Fm
While calypso and Ravel keep coming back
C7 Db7
And there beside that damned machine, you lie and never move
Ab C7 Fm
I'm cuckolded by metal and shallac
[Chorus]
Db Ab
It comes to me in dreams and it declares, "I'm Joan of Arc
Eb C7 Fm
"You can burn me but I've power from above"
Db Ab
But I fear it's not a dream and you'll be swallowed in its darkness
Eb C7 Fm
It will one day speak your words for you, my love
[Verse 2]
Fm
I tried to throw it out but back again the trashmen came
Eb C7 Fm
They were ashen white like they'd seen Father Death
C7 Db7
And they told me that it cried aloud and spoke to them by name
Ab C7 Fm
So they returned it, ran, and prayed under their breath
Fm
And every night I long to coax you from that phonograph
Eb C7 Fm
But it's drained the appetites I once fulfilled
C7 Db7
Its gaping mouth, obscene and wide, turns every tune to laughter
Ab C7 Fm
And its arm it waves commands to have me killed
[Chorus]
Db Ab
It comes to me in dreams and it declares, "I'm Joan of Arc
Eb C7 Fm
"You can burn me but I've power from above"
Db Ab
But I fear it's not a dream and you'll be swallowed in its darkness
Eb C7 Fm
It will one day speak your words for you, my love
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Fm
And now that you've gone deaf to every word that I could say
Eb C7 Fm
I'm reaching out the only way you'll hear
C7 Db7
I beg into a microphone for you to turn my way
Ab C7 Fm
And with my voice on wax, my body disappears
Fm
So play me on your phonograph and swear that I'll be yours
Eb C7 Fm
Though your heart and voice can nevermore be won
C7 Db7
Just drag that needle on me as I spin my loving course
Ab
Dreaming only of your kiss
Ab
All the charms of yours I miss
A
As I pop and as I hiss
Bb
Spiraling into the abyss
B
Oh my god, it's come to this
Fm
We've been undone
[Outro]
F
Put another record on
Dm
Play that music all night long
G C F Fm
And by the break of dawn, we'll be in love
F
Put another record on
Dm
Play that music all night long
G C F Fm
And by the break of dawn, we'll be in love
