| Perhaps I am a miscreation
|
| No one knows the truth there is no future here
|
| And you’re the dj speaks to my insomnia
|
| And laughs at all I have to fear
|
| Laughs at all I have to fear
|
| You always play the madmen poets
|
| Vinyl vision grungy bands
|
| You never know who’s still awake
|
| You never know who understands and
|
| Are you out there, can you hear this?
|
| Jimmy olson, johnny memphis,
|
| I was out here listening all the time
|
| And though the static walls surround me You were out there and you found me I was out here listening all the time
|
| Last night we drank in parking lots
|
| And why do we drink? |
| I guess we do it cause
|
| And when I turned your station on You sounded more familiar than that party was
|
| You more familiar than that party
|
| It’s the first time I stayed up all night
|
| It’s getting light I hear the birds
|
| I’m driving home on empty streets
|
| I think I put my shirt on backwards
|
| Are you out there, can you hear this
|
| Jimmy olson, johnny memphis
|
| I was out here listening all the time
|
| And though the static walls surround me You were out there and you found me I was out here listening all the time
|
| And what’s the future, who will choose it?
|
| Politics of love and music
|
| Underdogs who turn the tables
|
| Indie versus major labels
|
| There’s so much to see through
|
| Like our parents do more drugs than we do Oh…
|
| Corporate parents, corporate towns
|
| I know every tv set that has them lit
|
| They preach that I should save the world
|
| They pray that I won’t do a better job of it Pray that I won’t do a better job
|
| So tonight I turned your station on just so I’d be understood
|
| Instead another voice said I was just too late
|
| And just no good…
|
| Calling olson, calling memphis
|
| I am calling, can you hear this?
|
| I was out here listening all the time
|
| And I will write this down
|
| And then I will not be alone again yeah
|
| I was out here listening
|
| Oh yeah I was out here listening
|
| Oh yeah I am out here listening all the time |
