Radio Chimera Blues

106.9. Radio Chimera.

You probably shouldn't be hearing this.

Leaves on the wet road,

tower still awake Piano knows a number the other stations fake

E down to D,

then the B underneath

C almost lost, A late,

B in the teeth Kitchen light on,

window colder than the room Somebody left the dial between the static

and the tune

E,

D,

B

C,

A,

B

Same six notes, different coat

Walking up the tower,

walking through the throat

E, D,

B

C,

A,

B

You can hum it,

you can keep it

Don't ask the station who wrote it (hahaha)

Crooner had it once and lost it in the frost Weather man

counted time and never said the cost

Brushes in the booth,

bass a half a step late Organ stabs the dark and the

dark stays awake

Anchorage in the hiss,

ten forty, then gone The melody ain't remembered.

The melody moves on.

E, D,

B

C,

A,

B

Same six notes, different coat Best lock on the dial,

then the carrier floats E,

D,

B

C,

A,

B

Hold it while the speaker can

Then let the bandwidth leave your hands

The coffee is ready.

E, D,

B

C, A,

B

Signal bends, station slips Heater ticking in the gap between the notes
