Radio Fragile

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.

We all said you'd never make it

Cuz you had that fragile heart

And you were odd within the ways of the social

You through a caution to us all

And now when the late night drinkers gather for their falls

Someone says they've seen you out there laughing at us all

You mourned the cause of discontent with those who couldn't lose the dark

From the broad of daylight to half spent stars just waiting dusk to fall

Tell me, what the hell were you saying?

Was there a point at to it all?

Oh, and did they really see you out there laughing at us all

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?

Oh, were you really out there laughing at us all?

The midnight boy from Minnesota shut you down and stole the show

They say that you bitter in your anguish

Cuz it was you they ought to hold

You wore your causes on your sleeve like a beacon wears the dark

It's only right you should be out there laughing at us all

Now you are only dust for art

You're a shadow to recall

For all those late night drinkers in their ragged lonely bars

And we all said you'd never make it cuz you had that fragile heart

Now, all our hearts you held are wasted

You're out there laughing at us all
