Dar Williams - FM Radio lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] It's FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night [Verse 2] Lou Reed says he's A bis**ual 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 [Chorus] FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night [Verse 3] 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 who 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: [Chorus] FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge] To feel the s**iness, the pa**ion, the fusion and the fission Remember Bruce Springsteen divorced a model and married a musician [Chorus] (x3) FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night FM radio Everywhere I go FM radio Call of the night [Outro: Alison Steele] (spoken) 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
