Like a Radio - Over the Rhine

Like a Radio Lyrics

Confused ever since I spied you
In the rooms of my mind, now I can't deny you
Bleeding and bruised like a vagabond in rags
I've walked the streets to your door to find just what's in storeI see you, you and many others
In your clean well-lighted place where I would find disgrace
But I do know I'd find contentment
Just to be your furniture I need nothing moreIn the thick of the night, take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside like a radio
In the thick of the night, before we grow too old
Let me sing inside like a radioShivering and cold, this night's conducive
To a flight into my soul but I stand here
Though my heart grows bold once on the inside
I can quietly persist and hold my tearsIn the thick of the night, take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside like a radio
In the thick of the night, before we grow too old
Let me sing inside like a radio, like a radio, like a radioAnd so still I waited though I grow much weaker
No, no, no, I will not faint, I'll stay true
Believe me when I say I'd climb to heaven

Crawl beneath the lowest hell to stay near youIn the thick of the night, take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside like a radio
In the thick of the night, before we grow too old
Let me sing inside like a radio, like a radio, like a radio, like this
