Lookout Radio

Lookout Radio (Knowles/J. Kerouac)

 

Well, the stars have disappeared and the smoke's coming in from the east

momma's not happy, no she still can't kill the beast

It's been pawing at her ceiling and windows for more than a few years now

she's been struggling with an antidote - and there's just may be one way out

 

I hope i'm coming in clear from this lookout radio

you may have heard it all before but now there could be nowhere else to go

from up here on the hill, I see it's moving your way and it's not moving slow

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

 

"Meanwhile the sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom"

I stole that from Jack, but he's not here to sing the tune (Kerouac from "Desolation Angels")

He said "when a baby is born he falls asleep and dreams the dream of life,

and when he dies he awakes again", far away from all this hype

and nothing matters -

 

Am I coming in clear from this lookout radio

you may have heard it all before but now there could be nowhere else to go

from up here on the hill, I see it's moving your way and it's not moving slow

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

 

Open your eyes and you will see the truth

Open your ears and you will hear it too

Walk along this field of drowned dreams

You'll think everything is wrong with you

But there's a man inside you've been pushing down 

and now he wants to break right through

 

Am I coming in clear from this lookout radio

you may have heard it all before but now there could be nowhere else to go

from up here on the hill, I see it's moving your way and it's not moving slow

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio?

Am i coming in clear from this lookout radio? 

 

Radio - Lookout Radio
