I don't hear a thing
It won't even let me hear a thing
Is it cause my body is grown so
From that of a boy so long ago?
Used to lie on my bed The first black radio I've ever had
Melodies come and go So do the times on which they flow
Adolescent days,
a boy's first days First taste of his manhood
Struggling to find a way out of there Purity 100% proof
Drowning in the cloud of window dresses With nowhere left to go
Tell me what true happiness is My newly programmed radio
I could always hear
What it wanted me to hear
As I looked at the sky out my window A hint of courage in my shadow
It blew me all along
The radio knocked on my heart's door
A heart about to break The gentle breeze waved my ache away
I watched
parades and parties so far And looked up at the stars
Doom city lights behind my back
Innocence yet to scour
Far among the crowd,
no home sky misses With nowhere left to go
Tell them what true happiness is My newly programmed radio
I used to play my guitar Not even knowing what chord came next
A dream in lost and found
Clang by a song so safe and sound
Adolescent days,
a boy's first days First taste of his manhood
Struggling to find a way out of there Purity 100% proof
Drowning in the cloud of window dresses With nowhere left to go
Tell me what true happiness is My newly programmed radio
I watched
parades and parties so far And looked up at the stars
Doom city lights behind my back
Innocence yet to scour
Far among the crowd,
no home sky misses With nowhere left to go
Tell them what true happiness is My newly programmed radio
Far among the crowd,
their old dream misses With nowhere left to go
Tell them what true happiness is My newly programmed radio
