Lyrics

Radio Head

Baby your mind is a radio Got a receiver inside my head Baby I'm tuned to your wavelength Lemme tell you what it says: Transmitter! Oh! Picking up something good Hey, radio head! The sound... of a brand-new world. So look at my fingers vibrate From their tip down down to my toes Now I'm receiving your signal We're gonna leave the land of noise Transmitter! Oh! Picking up something good Hey, radio head! The sound... of a brand-new world. Transmitter! Oh! Picking up something good Hey, radio head! The sound... Of a brand-new world. Now you and I have no secrets Now baby, lemme read your mind I hear ev'rything you're thinking You can't help the way you sound Transmitter! Picking up something good. Hey! Radio head! The sound... Of a brand-new world Oh! Radio Head Radio Head Radio Head Radio Head
