Radio Paradise (mobile)

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
Don't even know my real name
High on a hillside trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B.
I ain't got time for that now
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
Heard about Houston? heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
Why stay in college? why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
Don't know what I look like
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive

joelbb Sep 18, 2012 - 17:17	One of their best - definitely and 8 or 9. "Burning Down the House" is the only one better. [ Reply ]
CamLwalk May 15, 2012 - 10:15	Going to see Start Making Sense...a TH tribute band on Friday May 18th at Jillian's in Albany. Seen them a couple of times before, they're amazing! [ Reply ]

coy Oct 06, 2011 - 12:05	i wonder if the kids on 'occupy wall street' are listening to TH maybe they got michael franti live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdFHU7hraM&feature=share [ Reply ]
madebytim Aug 04, 2011 - 15:59	I started out hating Talking Heads because I found it hysterical and too much, now years later I like it, it just kept growing, and the thing is that a friend of mine told me that I would eventually start liking it, funny :) [ Reply ]

Cynaera Jun 02, 2011 - 15:42	Rent "A Boy and His Dog" on DVD. Written by Harlan Ellison. Don Johnson in his first "major" role. Eve Arden before she became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Jason Robards, sinister as ever. And a very prophetic view of what would happen if WWWhatever happened and someone dropped the bomb. It's hysterically funny, but also bone-chillingly real. I love this song. [ Reply ]

ziakut Sep 23, 2010 - 07:48	David Byrne has worn so thin over the years. My ears don't like him the way they used to. What used to sound "hip" and "prevalent" now sounds whiny and stupid. [ Reply ]
