Verse 1:
Always been the radio's child
Quick-to-smile precious baby
Search the dial and electrify
Drive a tight little corner back in the mirror
Radio boys trying on all their moves
Spare some change and testify
Radio playing in your sleep
Prophet waiting in your car
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
Eyes stretching across the stars
Over and over in the life of a radio child
Radio Child

Groove over an Em until Todd calls for the change to C.
After Todd's drums break, jam over a C chord for 8 measures,
then move back to the Main Riff.
Verse 2:
The radios laugh like all their friends
Telling jokes the old folks know so well
Like an old guitar plays a lullaby
Radio cradling your dreams
Prophet waiting in your car
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
Eyes stretching across the stars
Over and over in the life of a radio child
Yeah radio child
Precious baby, precious baby
Jam over the Bm for a bit, then end with this:
