FM Radio

(album: Emerald - 2015)

Hey, Mr. Lifeguard
Up in the big chair
Turn up the radio
You're looking good, yeah

Dancing at the snack bar, singing to each other
We know the words from a record back cover

We got Crawdaddy
We know what's going on
Sonny and Cher split
What took 'em so long?

The boys are strutting like a foxy lady
So sing it loud in your hairbrush, baby

It's FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

Lou Reed says he's
A bisexual
Jackson Browne is
An intellectual

Stevie Wonder bought a house for his mother
DJ telling us we're sister and brother

We are the cosmos
We are the glam kids
Putting stardust
On our eyelids

Nightbird's calling for a group meditation
Sending Patty Hearst a positive vibration

FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

It's in my pocket
When I'm sledding
My cousin's smoking pot
Before her wedding

Talking Cold War
And rocket launches
I'm talking disco
With my orthodontist

Who cranked Zeppelin?
The driver ed guy
Yelled "Barracuda"
Off the high dive

On a date with
A guy from band, he
Played a trumpet solo
It was Brandy!

Every night I do stuff with my hair
Maybe Queen needs a clarinet player

And the sailors say:

FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

FM radio
Everywhere I go
FM radio
Call of the night

Hey, little sister
Take off the headphones
Don't try to scrutinize
That's just a dead zone

Wake up the neighbors, tell me, how do you feel?
And live the fantasy that makes your life real

So if you wanna play
Follow your glory
And if some guy says
That's not your story

Take a lesson from the FM that I knew then
It's like a public pool; you decide where to jump in

To feel the sexiness, the passion, and the fusion and the fission
Remember Bruce Springsteen divorced a model and
Married a musician!

I'm Alison Steele, the Nightbird, and I'll fly again when 2 am rolls around. Join me
'Til then, love and peace. And a good day
