Found a cassette in the amp's back panel
"King WOLF — DO NOT RECORD OVER" in blue pen
Twenty-two years of dust in the channel
And his voice come through like the yard was still standing

Whoever playing this, the amp is not the sound system
The wire is not the sound system
The sound system is whoever still come when you string it up
So if the yard gone, string it up somewhere else
That is not losing it, that is what it was built for

Cassette sermon, twenty-two years late
Right on time, right on time
Cassette sermon, coming through a stretching tape
Saying the one thing I couldn't find

I'd been carrying it like a body all this time
Counting speakers, counting screws, counting loss
He was never talking about the equipment
He was talking about who shows up, and what that costs

Cassette sermon, twenty-two years late
Right on time, right on time
Cassette sermon, coming through a stretching tape
Saying the one thing I couldn't find
