Radio Paradise (mobile)

Near where you are standing, the dinosaurs did a dance
The Indians told a story how it has come to pass
The Indians had a legend, the Spaniards lived for gold
White men came and killed them, but they haven't really gone
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake to find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
From Germany and Europe and southern U.S.A.
They made this little town here that we live in to this day
The children of the white man saw Indians on TV
And heard about the legend, how their city was a dream
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake and find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
The Civil War is over, and World War I and II
If we can live together, the dream, it might come true
Underneath the concrete, the dream is still alive
A hundred million lifetimes, a world that never dies
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake and find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake and find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town

It touches on a subject, or subjects, that rarely get discussed, let alone sung about. Oh well, if you don't like, you don't. Oddly, it touches me emotionally and intellectually. [ Reply ]

That's when the first album came out and it was raw and unrefined. This is ultra pasteurized. And I'm not being complementary. Still an okay song, though. i agree.. i have most heads albums but not this one. i'd expect this tune to be on the corporate album (little creatures).. [ Reply ]
kaybee Nov 10, 2010 - 16:42	Now I know why Talking Heads' music irritates me most of the time: David Byrne has the young, male equivalent to the quavering voice of the old lady who always sang in the congregation when you were a kid and were forced to go to church! [ Reply ]
