We Were Patriots Songtext
clear sky over Calcutta -- a warm wind.

Dvorak on the short wave

clear signal coming in

la la la

la la la la la la
la la la

la la la la la la la

long vowels spill like liquid from your mouth.

i hang on every word you say.

an army of transistor radios on the bookshelf left on all day.

let them play, yeah let 'em all play on and on and on.

let 'em all play longer and louder and long after you're gone

la la

la la la la la la

la la
la la la la la



clear sky sheltering our fragile little house

listening to the radio all the time

your hand on my forehead as though to check for a fever

yeah big plans in mind.

la la la la

la la la la la

la la la la

la la la la la la la

la la

la la la la la la
