Stan Ridgway - Mexican radio lyrics

rate me

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder

And the touch of a world that is older

I turn the switch and check the number

I leave it on when in bed I slumber

I hear the rhythms of the music

I buy the product, and never use it

I hear the talking of the deejay

Can't understand––just what does he say?

Chorus:

I'm on a mexican radio

I'm on a mexican, woah-ho, radio

I dial it in and tune the station

They talk about the U.S. inflation

I understand just a little

No comprendé, it's a riddle

Chorus repeat x2

I wish I was in Tijuana

Eating barbecued iguana

I'd take requests on the telephone

I'm on a wavelength far from home

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder

I dial it in from south of the border

I hear the talking of the deejay

Can't understand––just what does he say?

Chorus repeat x4

Radio... radio...

Radio... radio.

Radio... radio...

Radio... radio.

Chorus repeat x4

Radio... radio...

Radio... radio.

(WHAT DOES HE SAY!)

Radio... radio. repeat until fade
