Lyrics
Static coming through on the radio
I'm sending out a message in stereo
Is this thing on?
Hello, hello?
I don't know if I'm getting through to you.
Am I coming up on your radar screen?
Do you get a ping?
Am I blipping green?
Should I leave a message on your machine,
cos I don't know if I'm getting through to you.
Roger
Over
Coming in loud and clear
Roger
Over
Coming in loud and clear
Is there anybody out there
Am I all alone?
In my apartment on the the telephone
all I'm hearing is the dialtone
and I don't know if I'm getting through to you.
Are you picking up my signal?
Can you read the signs?
Are you seeing what I mean?
Read between the lines.
Well, if you're telepathic, then read my mind.
Roger
Over
Coming in loud and clear
Roger
Over
Coming in loud and clear
Belting out over the fm bands
you're listening, but do you understand?
Should I tie some strings between two tin cans
'cos I don't know if I'm getting through to you.
Come on people
let the record play
like spiralling coils of dna -
slowing twisting the night away.
Roger
Over
Coming in loud and clear, etc.
