Title:Airwaves Artist:Thomas Dolby
Album:The Golden Age of Wireless
This is a really good song and can be interpreted many ways, or not interpreted at all. She Blinded Me with Science also being on this album, it got most of its glory taken away. It is much more mellow than most of Dolby's early works.
Strange how the scale forms
In tiny patterns
On my antenna
And the fiveoclock show
Hello, hello
Brooklyn is crawling
With famous people
I turn my vehicle
Beneath the river, west from south
Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves?
I really should have seen through the airwaves
Electric fences
Line our new freeway
Here in the halflight
The motorhomes leave
Knee deep in water
Under a pylon
How slow my heartbeat
How thin the air I'm breathing in
Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves?
Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves
Be in my broadcast
When this is over
Give me your shoulder
I need a place to
Wait for morning
No it was nothing
Some car backfiring
Please don't ask questions
I itch all over; let me sleep
Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves?
Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves
The dampness of the wind, the airwaves
The tension of the skin, the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves...
May the Force be with you, Thomas Dolby.
