The Radio Song

(album: Got Any Gum? - 1987)

I like to listen to music
I like the way that it sounds
On the radio
I like to sit in a silent place
When no one's around
And listen inside it
Inside the silence is a melody
Voices singing harmony
I close my eyes and listen carefully
The silence starts to get loud
It's like your favorite station
Playing your favorite song
Just like they do on the radio

Like they do on the radio
Inside the silence is a symphony
Every note there is in every key
The music tells me how it wants to be
I help it write itself down
I hear the way that would sound
It's like your favorite station
Playing your favorite song
Just like they do on the radio
Like they do on the radio
But the radio isn't on
On the radio
