Airwaves Songtext
von Thomas Dolby

Strange how the scale forms
In tiny patterns
On my antenna
And the five o′clock show, hello hello
Brooklyn is crawling
With famous people
I turn my vehicle
Beneath the river, west from south

Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves


Electric fences
Line our new freeway
Here in the half-light
The motorhomes leave
Knee-deep in water
Under a pylon
How slow my heartbeat
How thin the air I'm breathing

Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves

Control has enabled the abandoned wires again
The copper cables all rust in the acid rain
That flood the subway with elements of our corrosion
Cable them to me, yeah, cable them to me
Cable them to me


Be in my broadcast
When this is over
Give me your shoulder
I need a place to wait for morning
No it was nothing
Some car backfiring
Please don′t ask questions
I itch all over, let me sleep

Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves

People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves

People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
Through the airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves
