I was making my way through the wasteland

The road into town passes through

I was changing the radio stations

With my mind on you

Oh your friends call you "Lily Paloma"

But that's not the way that you are

It's too much of a gentle misnomer

For a shooting star

But you and me baby

I saw you there

Straight away I knew

There's really no hiding

I'll tell you right now

What we're gonna do

We'll go collecting the days

Putting the moments away

You're on my mind like a

Song on the Radio

I remember the first time I saw you

Alone in the dark with a drink

With a candle flame burning before you

And your thoughts closed in

You were staring out into the distance

Not seeming to hear what I said

Why did you put up such resistance

Like all the lights are red

'Cause you and me baby

I saw you there

Straight away I knew

There's really no hiding

I'll tell you right now

What we're gonna do

We'll go collecting the days

Putting the moments away

You're on my mind like a

Song on the Radio

I don't know what it was that was painful

But sometimes it's there in your face

There are times when you just look disdainful

Of the human race

Ah, but then on the wings of emotion

We circle each other in flight

Till together we roll like the ocean

In its bed at night

'Cause you and me baby

I saw you there

Straight away I knew

There's really no hiding

I'll tell you right now

What we're gonna do

We'll go collecting the days

Putting the moments away

You're on my mind like a

Song on the Radio

You're on my mind like a

Song on the Radio
