Over The Rhine - I Radio Heaven lyrics

I Radio Heaven

words and music: Linford Detweiler

recording: Films For Radio

i radio heaven

i get mixed signals

i move the antenna

i switch the channels

i lie in this bed

my satellite dish

is there room in the universe

for one last wish

(i say)

do you read me

over

you wanna come

over

i guess i never told you

'bout this life i'm livin'

it's heaven versus hell

in a split decision

this secret religion is

the best that i've found

i radio heaven

when no one's around

(i say)

do you need me

over

you wanna come

over

this song is grinning

go on and undress it

it's just the beginning

go on and possess it

you're no longer a child now

don't let them molest it

the wound is deep

i'm just trying to confess it

the truth is i bleed you

when these frequencies cut me

i'm a slut with a mission

a singular vision

i radio heaven

i get mixed signals

i move the antenna

i switch the channels

i radio heaven

i get mixed signals

i move the antenna

i switch the channels

i lie in this bed

my satellite dish

is there room in the universe

for one last wish
