THE RADIO IS HAUNTED

Get it on
Storm Shadow



Driving past the graveyard just a couple blocks away
from the malt shop that's been empty since the Eisenhower days
Purple night the moon is like a nickel in the sky
think I'll park outside the malt shop sit a little while
The radio is playing that song by the Cavaliers
that always makes me feel as though you're whispering in my ear

CHORUS
Haunted
Haunted
The radio is haunted tonight
The radio is haunted tonight

we were driving around this old town just cause we were bored
the last night we were together in my old 47 Ford
I tried to sing like Ricky Nelson you just rolled your eyes
and then you kissed me on the cheek and said "you aren't like other guys"
Now I think about us all the time, about those malt shop days
dancing to the very same Frankie song the radio just played

CHORUS

The Johnnie song they played the first time we kissed
that Bobby song that always made me feel like this
"Earth Angel," "Blue Moon," and "Volare"
all these damned songs that remind me of the way
I loved you in the Springtime, I loved you in July
I loved you in December when the snow was two feet high
I loved you wearing black and I loved you in white
I loved you forty years ago and I still love you tonight
Thinking about the way that we used to hold hands
Listening to the radio the first time we danced

CHORUS

7/01
