I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it’s all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember The people we used to be It’s even harder to picture That you’re not here next to me
You say it’s too late to make it But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted All of our bridges burned down
I’ve wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I’m paralyzed Still stuck in that time, when we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise
I’m at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it’s all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If «happy ever after» did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I’ll be sick, oh
You turned your back on tomorrow ‘Cause you forgot yesterday I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away
You can’t expect me to be fine I don’t expect you to care I know I’ve said it before But all of our bridges burned down
I’ve wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I’m paralyzed Still stuck in that time When we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise
I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it’s all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If «happy ever after» did exist I would still be holding you like this And all those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I’ll be sick Now I’m at a payphone
Man, fuck that shit I’ll be out spending all this money while you sitting round Wondering why wasn’t you who came up from nothing Made it from the bottom, now when you see me I’m strutting And all of my cars start with a push of a button Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it Switched the number to my phone so you never could call it Don’t need my name on my show you can tell it I’m ballin’
Swish, what a shame could have got picked Had a really good game but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Or what you could have saw, but sad to say it’s over for Phantom pulled valet open doors Wiz like go away got what you was looking for Now it’s me who they want, so you can go And take that little piece of shit with you
I’m at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it’s all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If «happy ever after» did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I’ll be sick
Now I’m at a payphone
La primera máquina de karaoke la introdujo el cantante Daisuke Inoue, pero el éxito fue un poco por casualidad, ya que la gente asistente a sus conciertos insistía en poder cantar junto a él, gracias al experimento interactivo tan novedoso. Cuando el cantante vió el gran potencial del invento, lo patentó en un primer modelo consistente en una máquina a la que había que echar una moneda para que funcionase
En América y Europa se hicieron bastante conocidos este tipo de actividades, sobre todo en los bares, cuyo público era mayormente joven. Principalmente, el corazón del canto al vacío son las máquinas de karaoke, las que constan de una pantalla, mecanismo de supresión de voz, lector de DVD’s, además del sistema de sonido. Al principio, las máquinas tenían un lector de cintas, pero luego se cambió a las clásicas cintas de DVD’s. Se han llegado a abrir lugares especiales en los que sólo se puede hacer karaoke, además de comer y beber. Sin embargo, hay otros lugares que no están dedicados completamente a prestar el servicio del karaoke, pero establecen algunos días de la semana para ofrecerlo. Hoy en día, las máquinas son mucho más modernas, con pantallas de alta definición y de gran tamaño, al igual que un sonido potente. De igual forma, existen concursos a nivel mundial de esto e, incluso, han llegado a ser televisados.
