Radio Shoes

Me and my friend and his girlfriend are swimming

In Telephone Lake where willows are ringing

Out of the water a periscope snake

Says: "Go to the place where the wireless valves break"

Me and my friend and his girlfriend are driving

Through silence and sound, my sister is waving

She found a map full of stations and beams

Where rivers were drawn like electron streams

My friend and his girl hear the Doppler Effect

They both disappear in the Infinite Shoeblack

Me and my sister drive home with the blues

Now we can look for the Radio Shoes

How we can look for the Radio Shoes

(Little red roses fall) they fall from heaven

(Little red roses fall) fall from heaven

(Little red roses fall from heaven)

Me and my friend and his girlfriend are skating

On Telephone Lake, my sister is waiting

At home near the wireless but there is no sound

The periscope snake must have been drowned

We melt through the ice and never come back

We all disappear in the Infinite Shoeblack

Through falling snow we walk home with the blues

Now we can look for the Radio Shoes

How we can look for the Radio Shoes

Now we can look for the Radio Shoes
