Radio Tonight Lyrics

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 s***e
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 won't come out right
on the radio tonight
radio tonight.
