Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below

Cutting through the night
We find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
We find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Orbiting your living room,
Cashing in the bill of rights
Cuban army surplus or refusing all third lights
This is radio clash on pirate satellite

If you think that love isn't found on the radio, then tune right in, you may find the love you lost
I was tuning in the shine on the late night dial
Doing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we're getting out of control
Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

Leave the bureau in the snow
Catch a tram to Onkel Po
Early evening ring around the moon;
Slip in by the concierge
By the bikes and up the stairs
Snap the latch and creep into the room
You throw off your coat, pick up the post
And put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
And smoke a cigarette...

Oh honey you turn me on
I'm a radio
I'm a country station
I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wildwood flower
Waving for you
Broadcasting tower
Waving for you
I'm a wolf child, girl
Howlin' for you
Wild flower
Star of my dreams
The most beautiful thing
Wild flower
I love you every hour
Wild flower
Burning down the night
Set the world alight, yeah
Howlin' for you
Wild flower
Star of my dreams
The most beautiful thing
Wild flower
I love you every hour
Wild flower
Burning down the night
Set the world alight, yeah
There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can
Hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can
Hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean
All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay
Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
All around the world, we could make time
Rompin' and a stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime
Born in the north and sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine, but I must warn ya
'Bout the motherfuckin' girls from California
Alabama baby said hallelujah
Good God girl, I wish I knew ya
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say hello and then I say adieu
Rompin' and a stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime

You say hello and then I say adieu
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
Came here for a special offer
Guaranteed personality
I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see
All night I walk this stinkin street, past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear the same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing, a break in the routine
I'm talking some new kinks, the like you've never seen
This is home - this is Mean Street
It's our home - the only one I know
The only one I know
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me
The only one I see
Has found and aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me
The only one I see
Has found and aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
