Static on the Radio (feat. Aimee Mann)

3 A.M., I'm awakened By a sweet summer rain Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train Was I dreaming or was there someone just lying here Beside me in this bed? Am I hearing things? Or in the next room Did a long forgotten music box just start playing? And I know It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead And I know It's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said And I know Only fools venture where them spirits tread 'Cause I know Every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head Is just static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Static on the radio Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Midnight randevou, with a pretty girl Wearing a torn and tear-stained gown Like a ghost ship, she appeared from nowhere And on the highway and flagged me down I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station And a flicker of the neon light You kissed me goodbye and in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflection And I know The blind will sometimes lead the blind And I know Through shadowlands and troubled times And I know Forsaking love, we seek for signs And I know Of truths forever hid behind Is static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Static on the radio Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Static on the radio Everything I think I know is just static on the radio And there's a church house About a stone's throw down From this place where I been staying It's Sunday morning And I'm sittin' in my truck Listening to my neighbor sing Ten years ago, I might have joined in But don't time change those inclined To think less of what is written Than what's wrote between the lines? 'Cause I know Dreams are for those who are asleep in bed And I know It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead 'Cause I know For all my ruminations I can't change a thing Still I hope There's others out there who are listening To the static on the radio Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Static on the radio Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees Static on the radio Listening for the song behind everything I think I know Static on the radio Everything I think I know, is just static on the radio Everything I think I know, is just static on the radio
