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
