Lyrics (unofficial)

Sounds are found on a electronic recording
They are interpreted as spirit voices
And I can hear you wherever you are now
Typically brief
The length of a word
Or a short phrase

I'm still carin'
I'm preparin' such a nice place for you
Such a nice place for you
I'm preparin'
Nice place for you

Deceiving patterns
In random information
I imagine you in nearly everything

Industrial air conditioners
Sound like women's voices to me
I wonder if I hear you
Singing in bed

I'm still carin'
I'm preparin' such a nice place for you
Such a nice place for you
I'm preparin'
Nice place for you

Recording bird songs
I hear my dead father's whispers on the tape
He says my mother has a message for me

Oh what a breakthrough
Truly amazing experiment
The results were incapable
Of being replicated
