Lyrics for Radio Silence by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Radio Silence | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | Signal fading, listen to what I'm saying
Testing, testing
This better be worth all of the
breath I'm wasting
Maintaining radio silence from now on
Barricaded in the talk radio
station
Hostage taken
The red "On Air" light shines on
Something cheaper that passes for
free speech
Will have to do
Hear him coming through loud and clear
Trickling in
your ear
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
The tape starts running
He's
going to tell you something
The strings start strumming
Another humdrum
conundrum
Signing off now
Maintaining radio silence from now on
But there's one
thing I should have said
"The hostage will end up dead"
It's just a comedy
The hostage
is me
So pay the ransom
Beyond the run-out groove
Get my wife down here
A
helicopter on the roof
No police marksman
Maintaining radio silence from now
on
Mystery voices
Drowned out by too much choice
That's not to mention
The sad
waste of this wonderful invention
Maintaining radio silence from now on
Libraries
filled up with failed ideas
There's nothing more for me there
I trust in tender ink and
gentle airs
Do those drug dealers still polish women made of wax?
Gangsters and world
leaders
Require the same protection from attack
From this distance it's hard to tell the
difference
Between a king and a jack
Between a poet and hack
Maintaining radio silence
from now on | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
