RADIO DAYS VICARIOUSLY SUMMONED

 

RADIO DAYS VICARIOUSLY SUMMONED

Going back to the radio days

And the means and the ways

To accomplish your dreams

It seems like we’re all in some nostalgic stream

Of memories we were too young to have

But we slip right back on the radio track

With the clips we hear of the years

We weren’t here but our parents were our grandparents

Kicking up the rug eating raspberry shrub

On the porch my dears

I wish I could say they didn’t go away

And the world is strange

Now , rearranged

To such an extent

And the rent’s so high

We must live in the sky

On lemon chiffon pie

In the clouds with our dreams

And the sunshine streams

And the radio blares

And it seems like we’re

In a Kitchenette Somewhere

With the radio on and a jingly song

And a drama or two

To keep the wars from seeping through.
