Vienna Teng - Radio lyrics

rate me

<BR>

It came from nowhere<br>

On the 38 Geary<br>

A girl with a backpack of shrapnel and wire<br>

Through spiderweb windows<br>

Of blood stained glass<br>

A pagoda's shadow and a cruel sunny sky<br>

Oh the flash then the silence<br>

Shouldn't there be screaming praying crying<br>

Oh anything at all<br>

Tell me where are the sirens<br>

Fire's getting closer but I've got to stay calm<br>

<br>

It's just the radio darling,<br>

Just the radio and your runaway imagination<br>

Just the radio darling<br>

We can turn away to another station<br>

<br>

Outside they're handing out<br>

Fate to the wounded<br>

Little tags in black red yellow, and green<br>

It's now my twenty-fith hour<br>

With a scalpel in hand<br>

If I stop moving I will sleep on my feet<br>

And the rumors are seething<br>

Gunfire at freeway exits, bridges mid-barricades<br>

I can feel the fog creeping<br>

God where is the morphine, the sweet lidocaine<br>

<br>

It's just the radio<br>

<br>

Sing me a love song dear<br>

What good has the news ever done me<br>

Come on it'll never happen here, oh no<br>

We are not some third world country<br>

This is not some third world country<br>

<br>

I'm sorry Mama<br>

I held on for as long as I could<br>

I'm sorry Papa<br>

There was nothing more I could do<br>

<br>

It's just the radio<br>

<BR><BR>
