Radio Ready

I heard what the robot said
I'm going back to bed
'Cause I know if I don't get enough sleep
I'll just be seein' red

I think I'll stay inside
No reason not to hide
Maybe if they don't hear a peep
They'll think I already died

How we gonna get ourselves out of this one
Why can't they just go and shoot the moon
Someone should do something about this terror from outer space
I hope that this bad nightmare is ending soon

I heard what the robot said
I'm going back to bed
Seeing that big pneumatic drill
Fills me up with dread

I just can't stay inside
Even if they think I died
Smoking crater where it was my favorite hill
Maybe it's time to hide

How we gonna get ourselves out of this one
Why'd they have to go and shoot the moon
Someone should do something about this threat to the human race
I hope that this bad nightmare is ending soon

I heard what the robot said
I'm going back to bed
'Cause I know if I don't get enough sleep
I'll just be seein' red

where does the time all go
I'm sitting waiting 'round for you
it's the only life I know
I feel like there's nothing to do
these are the themes

and then I get a friend
you tell me that she's there for me
that really does depend
on everything she does to me
these are the themes
of my life

you feed and treat me well
at least whenever you're around
though I can never tell
how late you're gonna come around
these are the themes
of my life

and now I'm old and grey
Decisions being made for me
I hope that I can stay
I hope that I can stay
These are the themes
of my life
These are the themes
of my life

Another day ending
It's getting cold
Tired of mending
It's getting old
What have they done to me

Feel it drawing nearer
I'm sick of this place
I look in the mirror
So sick of this face
What have they done to me

she said she would go
she said she would
she said she would go

Smelling the flowers
I'm floating in space
I've been here for hours
With a smile on my face
What have they done to me

she said she would go
she said she would
she said she would go
she said she would
she said she would go
she said she would

The last time I was abducted by aliens, they were very excited to meet me.

I came from a place where there were things that were not made from corn, but they loved corn quite a lot. They took me in their corn-shaped space ship and brought me to their planet which was covered in fields upon fields of corn, and when the people greeted me they were wearing corn hats and corn shirts made from corn silk, and when the little children smiled at me they had smiles of corn with little kernels for teeth. And the airplanes left behind corntrails of popcorn, which rained down from the sky all the time, and they ate this popcorn with a corn butter made from corn oil and sweetened with corn syrup. All the children ran in fields of corn while carrying their cornphones that connected them to cornputers, and all they ate was corn, corn, and corn. For protein they had corn nuts, and for dairy they had corn milk, and late at night they'd watch corny movies and standup cornedians making corny jokes, and when they wanted to screw they'd watch hard-corn cornography. This world had a whole lot of corn. But their corn ship had broken down and they couldn't send me home, so this is where I still live to this day. It is the planet on which you and I and everyone else are. Everything is made from corn. Except the corn. That is made from trimethylsalicylide.

I'm sorry if I bothered you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I have to find myself a place to
think

I know what I did was wrong
I hoped that you would play along,
At least that's what I'm told by my new
shrink

I should make it up to you,
So let me know what I can do,
It would help make me feel so tickled
pink

Please don't simply turn me down
Rejection's gonna make me frown
I think that you should know I'm on the
brink

I'm feeling dizzy, it happened again
What do you think I should do
This person out there, I don't think it's me
All that I know, I need you

I'm sorry 'bout your other friend,
Reliable until the end;
This has been something of a trend
I see

And what about the other one,
Who thought that it would be so fun
To gas himself, it was so
Bourgeoisie

It's simply very puzzling,
Why no one can go on living,
When they meet you, it's dizzying
to see

I'm sorry 'bout the cyanide
And the assisted suicide
Oh look, another one has died

Not me!

I'm feeling dizzy, it happened again
What do you think I should do
That person out there is really not me
I know that I know, I need you

I'm sorry but I have to run,
It's been nice, a lot of fun
If someone asks, I wasn't
Here

I'm going out of town,
I hope nobody drowns,
I won't be 'round but I'll
Be near

I'm feeling dizzy, it happened again
What do you think I should do
That person out there I hope is not me
All that I know, I need you
All that I know, I need you
All that I wanted is you

i'm feeling numb
head banging drum
where i come from,
i'll die another day

what happened to me
setting myself free
an absentee
I'm turning away

I know I could be stronger
Hold on a little longer
Try not to fall in the water
But I've heard enough

I just keep going faster
Heading towards disaster
Too late to stop me after
I've heard enough

Too late for me
So let me be
We'll just have to see
how this all works out

What things may come
I'm feeling dumb
Gonna succumb
To another doubt

I know I could be stronger
Hold on a little longer
Try not to fall in the water
But I've heard enough

I just keep going faster
Heading towards disaster
Too late to stop me after
I've heard enough

How hard I try
I'm asking why
staying dry
for now i'm fine

too late, it's done
it's time to run
under the gun
your life is on the line

I know I could be stronger
Hold on a little longer
Try not to fall in the water
But I've heard enough

I just keep going faster
Heading towards disaster
Too late to stop me after
I've heard enough

I know I could be stronger
Hold on a little longer
Try not to fall in the water
But I've heard enough

I just keep going faster
Heading towards disaster
Too late to stop me after
I've heard enough

You started out thinking you were
headin' for a revolution
You got some friends together but it
really got out of hand

Now you're spending your nights singing
songs in an institution
And that's what it's like when you're
livin' in a traveling band
