Cosmic American
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a live wire, I'm a shortwave radio, do you copy?
I'm a flash of light from the radar tower to the runway
If I leave you I'm gonna do it semi-automatically
Do you blame me?
You are so far out there in the static
Hey, baby, am I coming through?
I am up above the buildings
I can see forever out the window of a hotel room
I spent a long night with a stranger I give my body to
Still I miss you
Still I never knew a love so tender
We're out behind your astro van
And you've got me up against the fender
You are the cosmic american man
I'm a live wire, I'm a shortwave radio, do you copy?
I'm a flash of light from the radar tower to the runway
If I love you I'm gonna do it semi-automatically
Do you blame me? Do you blame me?
Do you blame me?
