Radio Tonight

And the air is full of sound
And stories that I lost
Broadcasts that I found
On the stations of my cross
Now the music falls like rain
It pools around my knees
But the paper’s soaking wet
And the pen does not receive
So I’m pleading for a light
'cause the words won’t come out right
On the radio tonight, the radio tonight
Radio tonight

With all these broken toys
I can’t come out and play
The songs are all alike
Since the frequency got changed
But my heart has burst a seam
I overflow with dreams
And my memory doesn’t dim
This silence is a sin
So let the blood antennae rise
Keep the dust out of my eyes
When the words don’t come out right
On the radio tonight
Radio tonight

I try to look away
From the things I don’t know how to say
I’m staring into space
I can’t see what listens when I pray

I’m spitting in the wind
I wrack my head again
But the signal’s just a roar
It’s all been said before
So I swim against the tide
I rage against the light
But the words don’t come out right
On the radio tonight
Radio tonight
