Watchin' the radio

(Billy Bob Thornton/J.D Andrew)


Everything is busted
No reason to pretend
Somehow tomorrow's rusted
That's hard to comprehend

Sittin' in the dark alone
The power's all shut down
Afraid to use the telephone
It's wired into the crown

Scared of sights and sounds
It's a quarter to ten
I'm sittin' here watchin' the radio again

Watchin' the radio again
Watchin' the radio again
Hoping that magically
Somehow I'll get tuned in
And tisten to the radio again

Maybe I'm a coward
For crawling in a hole
Since the outlook soured
I won't grant myself parole

Still I keep on hopin'
I'll feel the distant beat
Of hearts that start to open
To those out on the street

Without some electricity
The moons my only friend
I'm sittin' here watchin' the radio again

Watchin' the radio again
Watchin' the radio again
Hoping that magically
Somehow I'll get tuned in
And tisten to the radio again
