Radio Silence (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
Written By:Elvis Coste[00:00:01]
Signal fading listen to what I'm saying[00:00:13]
Testing testing[00:00:20]
This better be worth all of the breath I'm wasting[00:00:23]
Maintaining radio silence from now on[00:00:30]
Barricaded in the talk radio station[00:00:40]
Hostage taken[00:00:47]
The red On-Air light shines on[00:00:50]
Something cheaper that passes for free speech[00:00:53]
Will have to do[00:00:59]
Hear him coming through loud and clear[00:01:07]
Trickling in your ear[00:01:13]
He'll tell you anything you want to hear[00:01:21]
The tape starts running[00:01:35]
He's going to tell you something[00:01:38]
The strings start strumming[00:01:42]
Another humdrum conundrum[00:01:45]
Signing off now[00:01:48]
Maintaining radio silence from now on[00:01:52]
But there's one thing I should have said[00:02:02]
The hostage will end up dead[00:02:08]
It's just a comedy[00:02:16]
The hostage is me[00:02:22]
So pay the ransom[00:02:30]
Beyond the run-out grove[00:02:33]
Get my wife down here[00:02:36]
A helicopter on the roof[00:02:40]
No police marksman[00:02:43]
Maintaining radio silence from now on[00:02:46]
Mystery voices[00:02:57]
Drowned out by too much choice[00:03:00]
That's not to mention[00:03:03]
The sad waste of this wonderful invention[00:03:07]
Maintaining radio silence from now on[00:03:14]
Libraries filled up with failed ideas[00:03:24]
There's nothing more for me there[00:03:30]
I trust in tender ink and gentle airs[00:03:38]
Do those drug dealer still polish women made of wax[00:03:52]
Gangster and world leaders[00:03:58]
Require the same protection from attack[00:04:02]
From this distance it's hard to tell the difference[00:04:07]
Between a king and jack[00:04:12]
And a poet and hack[00:04:16]
Maintaining radio silence from now on[00:04:19]
