Radio Lyrics

It's just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio, we could turn away to another stationIt 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 skyOh, 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 calmIt's just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio, we could turn away to another stationOutside they're handing out fate to the wounded
Little tags in black, red, yellow and green
It's now my twenty fifth hour with a scalpel in hand
If I stop moving I will sleep on my feetAnd the rumors are seething
Gunfire at freeway exits, bridges, mid barricades
I can feel the fog creeping

God where is the morphine, the sweet lidocaineIt's just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio, we could turn away to another stationSing 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 countryI'm sorry mama, I held on for as long as I could
I'm sorry papa there was nothing more I could doIt's just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio, we could turn away to another stationIt's just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling, just the radio
Just the radio
