Magenta Radio

(album: Rusted Root - 1998)

Went down to a second hand store
to buy some clothes
like I used to wear before
Curly haired Sally says she
likes me a little better this way

Everything I wish for
I know I could
Only if everything I could
I didn't wish for.
It's a good day in the USA
stripped down
to your Uncle long johns
Well no thanks
I'm good
here in my magenta radio

Do do do do do do do do do.....
Here In my magenta radio
Well can I say something;
just a little more
I bet you we could talk
into the morning honey.
I bet you we never
see the morning
without a hornet
buzzing around our door
Cause everytime I look
into your mirror
I see smoke from your gun
We both got itchy triggers
and we wear them for fun.
We got two stories to tell
and I think one of them is wrong
Well no thanks
I'm good
here in my magenta radio
Do do do do do do do......

Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
even when we try
Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
even when we try

When we try
we don't know our name
When we try,
but we don't know our name

I see us kissing the Earth
lovers of our way to be
Trying on shoes
that don't really fit our feet
All in a dream we got burnt
All in a dream we got hurt...
But we try, we try & we try & we
Hold me my lady
cause we all love
even when we try
Hold me my lady
cause we all love
even when we try
But we don't know our name
