    Oh yeah!

    I want to tell you about dead city radio man
    And the new gods of supertown.
    A world of magic lanterns and chemical blues.
    A world where x stands of the unknown and y is the zero

    Sluggish drones assault my radio
    20 mortal lashes of grotesque audio
    Glittering fountains
    Misspent youth
    I'm a rhinestone tiger in a leisure suit

    Turn it up! Turn it up! Turn it up! Oh yeah!

    We listen to the radio, dead radio

    I'll tell you one thing man:
    Nothing ever happens until you medicate
    The witch queen of mongo
    And hail the passing of King George.
    Everybody is eating on behalf of the gods
    With their plastic necks and silver teeth.

    Is there life beyond what you know?
    Hallucination thrives on my stereo
    Astonishing skeptics
    Wasted youth
    She's and angel of odd in her birthday suit

    Turn it up turn it up turn it up oh yeah

    We listen to the radio, dead radio
    We listen to the radio, dead radio

    It's right here now that we best serve the beast of transmission
    And the cool passing wave of ignorance.
    They say the heart is a lonely hunter
    And the hard box comes with a crime inside.
    Oh yeah!

    We listen to the radio, dead radio
    We listen to the radio, dead radio Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
