Listen To the Radio

Leave the bureau in the snow Catch a train to Uncle Po Early evening ring around the moon Slipping by the Concierge By the bikes and up the stairs Snap the latch and creep into the room Throw off your coat Pick up the post Put a coffee on Lie down on the bed Lay back your head 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 Smoke another cigarette And listen to the radio Listen to the radio You throw off your coat Pick up my note Put another coffee on Lie down on the bed Lay back your head Smoke another cigarette Smoke another cigarette 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 Butter some toast Put another 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 Listen to the radio Listen to the radio Listen to the radio Listen to the radio
