Like a Radio Songtext
von Over the Rhine

Confused, ever since I spied you
In the rooms of my mind
Now I can′t deny you
Bleeding and bruised
Like a vagabond in rags
I walk the streets to your door
To find just what's in store

I see you, you and many others
In your clean well-lighted place
Where I would find disgrace
But I do know I′d find contentment
Just to be your furniture
I need nothing more


In the thick of the night
Take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside
Like a radio
In the thick of the night
Before we grow too old
Let me sing inside
Like a radio

Shivering and cold
This night's conducive to
A flight into my soul
Yet I stand here
Though my heart grows bold
Once on the inside
I can quietly persist
And hold my tears

In the thick of the night
Take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside
Like a radio
In the thick of the night
Before we grow too old
Let me sing inside
Like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio


And so still I wait
Though I grow much weaker
Oh no, no, I will not faint
I'll stay true
Believe me when I say
I′d climb to the heaven
Crawl beneath the lowest hell
To stay near you

In the thick of the night
Take me out of the cold
Let me sing inside
Like a radio
In the thick of the night
Before we grow too old
Let me sing inside
Like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
Like a radio
