Chinese Radio

It was back in '69, like a night mare cryin'

In a hotel bed on the coast

Happy Shanghai girls,

Like a pretty string of pearls

And a snow storm up in my nose.

I was on my way to heaven, with a funky red 11

And a switchblade job on the side

Hear the music playin' and my heartbeat prayin'

To the airways out in the night.

Ouuh, radio! I love my radio! My chinese radio

Ouuh, radio! I love my radio! My chinese radio,

Ouuh

Oh, I could write a million stories

Tales of love and hate and pain

And my fears would truly frighten

Any ordinary man.

Is there someone out there laughing?!

Walking in the pouring rain,

Lord, I'm sure I know the answers

But it's too hard –

To explain.

Now my head is burning, an' I feel it turning

In an igloo up on the moon

Saying: Lord, have mercy on a guy from Jersey

And it falls back into my room.

Just a stranded tourist,

An' I wouldn't touch the purest

If I ever get out here alive

While the FM-switches and the green-light digits

Keep in touch with the world outside.

Bridge: Just a river on the run, now

I'm flyin' and I won't touch down

Got nowhere left to run,

I get on my knees and pray!
