Trembling Blue Stars

She’s counting radio towers as she travels through the darkness

The way she did when she was young

She’s watching red lights flashing, out to the hidden horizon

She feels the air is full of songs, crackling with songs. Static and songs

She’s counting radio towers as she travels through the darkness

  

The romance of radio at night

She’s watching red lights flashing, out to the hidden horizon

She’s calmer for those flashing lights, that tail off till they’re out of sight

That tail off till they’re out of sight

  

As the door to their room closes, another door then opens, to a world where only they exist These nights aren’t made for sleeping. These nights are made for melting

Where does she end and he begin? What is her and what is him? 

Where does she end and he begin?

  

As the door to their room closes, another door then opens, to a world where they can live their dreams 

These nights aren’t made for sleeping. These nights are made for melting 

Made for going to extremes. How they love these motel scenes

Hotel and motel scenes

  

A young girl listens to Helen Reddy, sees herself as Angie Baby

Her side her radio never leaves

A signal sails across the water, a broadcast from Louisiana

Jamaica picks up New Orleans

Jamaica’s listening in. Jamaica’s listening in

  

She’s counting radio towers as she travels through the darkness

The way she did when she was young
