Radio Paradise (mobile)

If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin' good care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothes
A-puttin' on his little red shoes
A-pointin' a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world, darlin'
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Uuh, yeah, mmh
In a time
In another place
In a time
In another place
In another face
Mmh, mmh, mmh

I don't like everything he's done, but I don't have to...in my mind this whole album was a masterpiece. I'm often amazed at how young a lot of the greats were back then when they made their early, great albums...Santana, Robert Plant, I'm sure I could think of lots more if I take a minute... But ... things to do.... [ Reply ]

(former member) Dec 17, 2011 - 21:00	Wow! This album ranked 19th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time ! This song is really interesting... I just ranked it a big 10, and I look forward to hearing it again... cool music, and the lyrics are profound— very impressionistic the way the lyrics evoke subjective and sensory impressions rather than recreate objective reality... very groovy...

nacrobat Mar 08, 2011 - 22:00	Just a little before 8am in Dahab, Egypt where I am. Waking up, sipping my coffee, feeling the warm Sinai sun as it peeks through the windows and feeling sooo good. Open my laptop, open RP as usual and oh man..perfect. VM's sweet, sweet voice is coming through my speakers...nothing like it, especially in the morning....it's going to be a great day...thx VM, thx RP. [ Reply ]
