Radio |
It’s just the radio darling |
Just the radio and your runaway imagination |
Just the radio darling |
We can turn away to another station |
It came from nowhere |
On the 38 Geary |
A girl with a backpack of shrapnel and wire |
Through spiderweb windows |
Of blood stained glass |
A pagoda’s shadow and a cruel sunny sky |
Oh the flash then the silence |
Shouldn’t there be screaming praying crying |
Oh anything at all |
Tell me where are the sirens |
Fire’s getting closer but I’ve got to stay calm |
It’s just the radio darling |
Just the radio and your runaway imagination |
Just the radio darling |
We can turn away to another station |
Outside they’re handing out |
Fate to the wounded |
Little tags in black red yellow, and green |
It’s now my twenty-fith hour |
With a scalpel in hand |
If I stop moving I will sleep on my feet |
And the rumors are seething |
Gunfire at freeway exits, bridges mid-barricades |
I can feel the fog creeping |
God where is the morphine, the sweet lidocaine |
It’s just the radio |
Sing me a love song dear |
What good has the news ever done me |
Come on it’ll never happen here, oh no |
We are not some third world country |
This is not some third world country |
I’m sorry Mama |
I held on for as long as I could |
I’m sorry Papa |
There was nothing more I could do |
It’s just the radio |
