Static on the wire

Static on the wire,

frequencies collide

Broadcasting from a basement where the spiders hide (hehehe) Tomorrow's headlines spoken

in the present tense

He reads the morning news that makes no human sense

Static speaks, the dial is locked (locked in) Heard my own voice

when the power was blocked

Every step is written on the frequency wave

Who is the master and who is the slave?

Receiver unplugged but the signal still bleeds

It knows my next breath,

it knows what it needs (no way) I hear myself walking down

the narrow dark hall Before my feet

even move, I hear the footsteps fall

Two voices talking on a dead-end line (who is this?) Your clock

is ticking but it's out of time One step ahead,

the radio knows How the story ends and where the shadow goes

Static speaks, the dial is locked (locked in) Heard my own voice

when the power was blocked

Every step is written on the frequency wave

Who is the master and who is the slave?

(shhh) The transmitter is dead.

But the broadcast goes on.
