Pirate Radio Lyrics

 Well, those electric sheep to the valley they keep walkin 
 On the radio waves selling tennis shoes and beer 
 It induces sleep when that DJ starts his squawkin' 
 I'm lookin' for one song to save me on this midnight clear 
   
 CHORUS: 
 So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio? 
 One song that could steal our hearts 
 Before they turn into silver and gold 
 Well I'm drivin' my car real slow and my baby wants to know 
 When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio? 
   
 One star in the sky so I named it Otis Redding 
 Or maybe Marvin Gaye lookin' for his Tammi Terrell 
 There ain't no mountain high enough to stop this wedding 
 Rollin' out of Memphis to Detroit I can hear those bells 
   
 REPEAT CHORUS 
   
 Well, we've been drivin' all night, ever since we were teenagers, 
 Up to that border town where the outlaw station air waves 
 Where the DJ's outta sight and his heart is so courageous 
 And he loves every song that he's puttin' on for the free and brave 
   
 REPEAT CHORUS
