"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 have to fear   Laughs at all I have to fear   You always play the madmen 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 Olson, Johnny Memphis,   I was out here listening all the time   And though the static walls surround me   You were out there and you found me   I was out here 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 familiar than that party was   You more familiar than that party   It's the first time I stayed up all night   It's getting light, I hear the birds   I'm driving home on empty streets   I think I put my shirt on backwards      Are you out there, can you hear this   Jimmy Olson, Johnny Memphis   I was out here listening all the time   And though the static walls surround me   You were out there and you found me   I was out here listening all the time      And what's the future, who will choose it?   Politics of love and music   Underdogs who turn the tables   Indie versus major labels   There's so much to see through   Like our parents do more drugs than we do   Oh...      Corporate parents, corporate towns   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 Olson, 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 "
