Airwaves/Thomas Dolby

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.
