Radio Paradise (mobile)

Watch an eyeball
Take a free fall
At the mention of a name
In its socket
And like a rocket
Rises just the same
Could my eyelids
(could my eye)
Cover what I did
The shuttin of the door
And could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor
Jerked my fountain
Ice cream mountains
I suppose I'm just too late
Form a line here
Think I'll die here
These people nauseate me
But if my patience
Were a spaceship
High up in orbit
I would rise here
Hypnotized here
Risen from where I sit
A solid angle
My legs do dangle
Off the counter's edge
Soft words spoken
Promises broken
I Close my eyes instead
But could my eyelids
Cover what I did
The shuttin' of the door
Could these ceilings
Contain my feelings
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor
Me down on the floor

In alll the many years I've been listening to music, I could never figure out why I liked the songs that I did. I recently figured it out... They're all Power Pop! [ Reply ]
superflyLD Apr 12, 2011 - 08:02	Just had a show with these guys at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston last Friday. Great band. Great guys. Always a good time when they play out. [ Reply ]
Cynaera Nov 05, 2010 - 20:42	I've never heard this before, nor have I heard Hüsker-Du (although I've heard of them.) I really like this song! The solid beat reminds me a little of a slowed down "I Need to Know" by Tom Petty and the Homewreckers. And, how funny that it's being followed by a Tom Petty song... ${#Dancingbanana_2}$ [ Reply ]
