Radio Shoes

Me and my friend
And his girlfriend are swimming
In Telephone Lake
Where willows are ringing
Out of the water
A periscope snake
Says: go to the place
Where the wireless valves break

Me and my friend
And his girlfriend are driving
Through silence and sounds
My sister is waving
She found a map
Full of stations and beams
Where rivers were drawn
Like electron streams

My friend and his girl
Hear the Doppler effect
They both disappear
The Infinite shoeblack
Me and my sister
Drive home with the blues
And now we can look
For the radio shoes
How we can look
For the radio shoes

Little red roses fall
Fall from heaven
Little red roses fall
Fall from heaven
Little red roses fall from heaven

Me and my friend
And his girlfriend are skating
On Telephone Lake
My sister is waiting
And home near the wireless
But there is no sound
The periscope snake
Must have been drowned

We melt through the ice
And never come back
we all disappear
In the infinite shoeblack
Through falling snow
We walk home with the blues
And now we can look
For the radio shoes
How we can look
For the radio shoes

Now we can look
For the radio shoes
