Jim White - Static On The Radio video free download

From the CD Drill A Hole In That Substrate And Tell Me What You See

Three a.m., I'm awakened by a sweet summer rain

Distant howling of a passing southbound coal train

Was I dreamin' or was there someone

Just lyin' here beside me in this bed?

Am I hearing things or in the next room

Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?

And I know

(It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead)

And I know

(It's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said)

And I know

(Only fools venture where them spirits tread)

'Cause I know

(Every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head)

Is just static on the radio, static on the radio

(Static on the radio, static on the radio)

Static on the radio

(Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

It's static on the radio

(Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

Midnight rendezvous with a pretty girl

Wearin' a torn and tear-stained gown

Like a ghost ship, she appeared from nowhere

On a lonely highway and flagged me down

I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station

And in the flicker of the neon lights

She kissed me goodbye

And in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflection

And I know

(The blind will sometimes lead the blind)

And I know

(Through shadow lands and troubled times)

And I know

(Forsaking love, we seek the signs)

And I know

(Of truths forever hid behind)

Is static on the radio, static on the radio

(Static on the radio, static on the radio)

Static on the radio

(Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

Static on the radio

(Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

There is a church house 'bout a stone's throw down

From this place where I been stayin'

It's Sunday mornin' and I'm sittin'' my truck

Listening to my neighbor sing

Ten years ago I might have joined in

But don't time change those inclined

To think less of what is written

Than what's wrote between the lines?

'Cause I know

(Dreams are for those who are asleep in bed)

And I know

(It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead)

'Cause I know

(For all my ruminations I can't change a thing)

Still I hope

(There's others out there that are listening)

To the static on the radio, static on the radio

(Static on the radio, everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

Static on the radio

(Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees)

Static on the radio

(Listening for the song behind everything I think I know)

Static on the radio, static on the radio, static on the radio, oh

(Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)

Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
