lyrics

Paris hotel
Internal midnight call

That drew me out of my room
And down to yours

Your magpie possessions
Strewn on the bed and the floor

But did you ever find
What you were looking for?

Tiny transistor radio
French jazz station
All night show

A be-bop soundtrack
For your restless punk rock soul

Headed for
Where only your head could go

You said you were getting word
From the other side

From angel ancestors
And sacred suicides

Spirit voices sang to you
And made you cry

You told me you'd be with them soon
All you'd have to do was die

Tiny transistor radio
French jazz station
All night show

A be-bop soundtrack
For your restless punk rock soul

Headed for
Where only your head could go

You complained of insomnia
As you did another line

On a 24 hour clock
But running out of time

Zooming through to dawn
Crashing through all warning signs

My cautious thoughts mere whispers
Against your brilliant howling mind

Tiny transistor radio
French jazz station
All night show

A be-bop soundtrack
For your restless punk rock soul

Headed for
Where only your head could go

At some ungodly hour
I admitted defeat

You said 'just go then'
And you took to the street

To walk Montmartre at 5.00am
Driven by your own beat

Parisian early birds
Sang for the man who wouldn't sleep

In your heart you had a radio
Tuned to the secret jazz
Of the mystery show

A blackout soundtrack
For your restless punk rock soul

Heading for where
Only you could go..
