She's just a hiss on the tape,
Her head's so dirty.
She's a girl on the make,
She could be fifteen or thirty.
Got to give her a break,
Her sensitivities glisten.
She's had all she can take,
Still the tape keeps hissing.

You can ask her the question
And she'll tell you no lie;
They're too many to mention,
Too many wondering why.

She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hiss on the tape;
She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hiss on the tape.

She's a ball in the air,
Emotional token.
Just one of a pair
'Til her bond gets broken.
There's a point in the line,
Her mind starts doubting;
Just a dot on the card,
All done bar the shouting.

Ask her the question,
She'll keep telling the lie;
They're too many to mention,
Too many wondering why.

She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's a hiss on the tape;
She's a hiss on the tape,
she's a hiss on the tape.

Hiss on the tape,
She's just a hiss on the tape;
Oh she's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hissss...

There's a crack in her mind,
There's a fault in her logic.
She's failing behind,
She knows she just can't dodge it.
Like the snap of the trap,
She closes up so tightly;
She cut out all the rap,
She just plays twice nightly.

Ask her the question,
She'll keep telling the lie;
They're too many to mention,
Too many wondering why.

She's going out with a friend,
She's in a strange good humour.
She got no time to spend,
She's just the start of the rumour.
Just a silky suggestion,
A sliver of thigh;
It's out of the question,
Give the slightest of sighs.

She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hiss on the tape;
She's just a girl on the make,
She's just a hiss on the tape.

She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hiss on the tape;
She's just a hiss.
She's just a hiss on the tape,
She's just a hisssssssssss...
