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
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 care 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 Ottis Redding
Or maybe Marvin Gaye lookin' for his Tammi Turell
There ain't no mountain high
enough to stop this wedding
Rollin' out of Memphis to Detroit
I can hear those bells
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 care real slow
and my baby wants to know
When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio
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 ree and brave
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 care real slow
and my baby wants to know
When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio
