Atmospherics: Listen To the Radio

Leave the bureau in the snow Catch a tram to Onkel PO Early evening ring around the moon Slip in by the concierge By the bikes and up the stairs Snap the latch and creep into the room You throw off your coat, pick up the post And put a coffee on Lie down on the bed, lay back your head And smoke a cigarette And listen to the radio Listen to the radio In the city late tonight Double feature, black and white "Bitter Tears" and "Taxi to the Klo" Find a bar, avoid a fight Show your papers, be polite Walking home with nowhere else to go You throw off your coat, pick up my note Put another coffee on Lie down on the bed, lay back your head And smoke a cigarette And listen to the radio Listen to the radio Atmospherics after dark Noise and voices from the past Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne: Interference in the night Thousand miles on either side Stations fading into the unknown: So throw off your coat, we'll butter some toast And put a coffee on: We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads Smoke another cigarette And listen to the radio Listen to the radio All night long
