Radio

May you smile upon this band
May your miles beguile the land
Cross every dial and band

When I was young
I lay in bed
And hummed a song
And shook my head
As I grew old
The world was cold
The radio was my only friend

In the California night
There is a chopper overhead
Like a deer caught in the light
I can't help but look ahead

And I'm wondering when it's going to stop
And I'm hoping I won't burn up
Drop in the ocean

How you turn me on but I won't belong
Turn me on I'm playing your favourite song

Police are everywhere
They keep it peaceful there
For bankers in cars, it's lonely as Mars
They're buying the air, they're making the stars
Shine bright

Like a deer caught in the light
I can't help but look ahead
Like a hummingbird in flight, I'm going nowhere
As I beat with all my might

The radio
Radio

In this California night
I can't help but look ahead
