SINGER: Thomas Dolby

SONG:Airwaves

Strange how the scale forms
in tiny patterns
on my atenna
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 in

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

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 ...
