Radio Silence

(album: The Golden Age Of Wireless - 1982)

Radio
Radio silence
Radio silence throughout

Caroline
Makes the final adjustments
In her rear-view mirror
She's nervous and tense
But she's thinking it over
With logic and sense
She'll overcome her phobia...

But oh, to paint her eyes so red and her lips so blue
Carve her legend on the bow: Caroline four-five-two
When they come to call for her, I will be there too

Observe radio silence observe
Radio silence observe radio silence
Maintain radio silence throughout

Now where can he be?
What's wrong with the parking meter?
What's happened to me?

Ah, she'll burst a blood vessel
If he doesn't show
She's caught up in traffic
And I'm on her radio...

And I will paint her eyes so red and her lips so blue
Raise her likeness on the mast: Caroline four-five-two
When they come to call for her, I will be there too

Observe radio silence observe
Radio silence observe radio silence
Maintain radio silence throughout

She'll tune in till the tune suits her right
She'll tune in till the dial come all right
She'll tune the dial till the needle's in the white
Tune in tonight
Tune in tonight
Tune in tonight...

No, no, no
Try to think of nothing

Radio silence
Radio silence
Radio silence
Radio silence

Radio silence
Observe radio silence
Radio silence
Radio silence will be maintained

Radio silence
Maintain radio silence
Radio silence
Maintain radio silence
