Perhaps I am a miscreation, no one knows the truth, There is no future here
And you’re the DJ speaks to my insomnia
And laughs at all I had to fear, laughs at all I had to fear
You always play the madman poets
Vinyl vision, grungy bands
You never know who’s still awake
You never know who understands and
Are you out there, can you hear this
Jimmy Olsen Johnny Memphis
I was out here listening all the time
And though the static walls surround me
You were out there then you found me
I was out there listening all the time
Last night we drank in parking lots
And why do we drink I guess we do it cause
And when I turned your station on
You sounded more familier than that party was
You were more familier than that party
Its the first time I stayed up all night
Its getting light I hear the birds
I’m driving home on empty streets
Think I put my shirt on backwards
Are you out there, can you hear this
Jimmy Olsen Johnny Memphis
I was out here listening all the time
And though the static walls surround me
you were out there then you found me
I was out there listening all the time
And whats the future who will choose it, politics of love and music
Underdogs who turn the tables, indie versus major labels
Theres so much to see through
Like our parents do more drugs than we do
Oh -oh -oh
Corporate parents, corporate town
I know every tv set that has them lit
They preach that I should save the world
They pray that I won’t do a better job of it,
Pray that I won’t do a better job
So tonight I turned your station on
Just so I’d be understood
Instead another voice said
I was just too late and just no good
Calling Olsen, calling Memphis,
I am calling can you hear this
I was out here listening all the time
And i will write this down
And then I will not be alone again yeah
I was out here listening
Oh yeah I was out here listening
Oh yeah I am out here listening all the time
