Lyrics Static on the Radio - Aimee Mann , Jim White , Joe Henry , M. Ward
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
rendevous
With
a
pretty
girl
Wearing
a
torn
and
tear-stained
gown
Like
a
ghost
ship
she
appeared
from
nowhere
On
a
lonely
highway
and
flagged
me
down
I
gave
her
a
lift
downtown
to
the
Greyhound
station
Under
the
flicker
of
the
neon
light
She
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
see
it's
a
sign)
And
I
know
(of
truths
forever
hid
behind)
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)
Now
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
that
are
listening)
To
the
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
(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)
