River running right on over,
Then over my head.
Outboard, river.
Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time,
Suntower, asking,
Cover, lover,
June cast, moon fast,
As one changes,
Heart gold, leaver,
Soul mark, mover,
Christian, changer,
Called out, saviour,
Moon gate, climber,
Turn round, glider.
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe
Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, The King and I, and The Catcher in the Rye
Eisenhower, Vaccine, England’s got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
FM, AM, hits are clickin’ while the clock is tock-a-tickin’
Friends and Romans, salutations, Brenda and the Tabulations
Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin’
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can’t stop now, I got the shivers
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Gotta go Sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter
Miracles in smokey places, slide guitars and Fender basses
Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett, Wilson Pickett, stop and kick it
When I got to the house
And I called you out
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It’s that same sing song on the radio
It makes me sad
I meant to turn it off
To say goodbye
To leave in quiet, that radio song
Hey, hey, hey (ha ha)
All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga
Radio Goo-Goo
Radio Ga-Ga
All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga
Radio Blah-Blah
Comin’ to you live like I do every night
From the heart of your radio.
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad,
And a few ol’ cheatin’ songs.
Here’s hopin’ everybody out in radio land
Found a love just as true as mine.
Good night angel, sleep tight darlin’,
Close your pretty brown eyes.
When the show is over,
Your radio lover
Will be home by your side.
I get the same old dreams
Same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed
Put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I remember Sunday morning
I would meet him at the park
We’d walk together hand in hand
'Til it was almost dark
Now I wake up Sunday morning
Walk across the way to find
Nobody waiting for me
Sunday’s just another day
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
And you were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
Afraid to lose control
And caught up in this world
I’ve wasted time, I’ve wasted breath
I think I’ve thought myself to death
I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

I’m in my room I’m looking sideways
I look up and I look down
They told my friends it was a secret
But it’s rumored that some of us went crazy
Look now, look all around
There’s no sign of life
Voices, another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth
You’re looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop-bop, bop-bop bop bop-bop
This is Planet Earth
Bop bop-bop, bop-bop bop bop-bop
Calling Planet Earth
And every time I wonder where the world went wrong
End up lying on my face going ringy-dingy-ding-dong
And every time I wonder if the world is right
End up in some disco, dancing all night
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
Name of the band is The Human Race
Everybody tell me have you heard
Pop goes the world
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
Sister played the ringing tambourine.
Mama couldn’t hear our pretty music,
She read our lips and helped the family sing.
That little band was all a part of living,
And our only means of living at the time;
And it wasn’t like no normal family combo,
'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind.
Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
Singing seems to help a troubled soul.
One of these days and it won’t be long.
I’ll rejoin them in a song.
I’m gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
No, the circle won’t be broken.
By and by, Lord, by and by.
But oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there’s life within
May the spirit never die
Though a troubled heart feels pain
When the long winter is over
It will blossom once again
