Lyrics

Hey! Ho! How ya' been?

Greeting and inquiry about the listener's well-being.

Got my second wind,

Expressing renewed energy or motivation.

I see, what they're in,

Awareness of the situation or circumstances.

Hello, hey out there,

Greeting to the external world.

Be sure, what you hear,

Advice to be cautious about what is heard.

Check your eyes,

Suggesting self-reflection or scrutiny.

Check your ears,

Emphasizing the need to be attentive.

TV will disguise,

Highlighting the potential deceptive nature of TV.

Radio never lies,

Assertion that radio is more truthful.


Whoa whoa

Exclamation expressing determination or excitement.

I won't sleep, k-keep the radio on,

Commitment to staying awake and keeping the radio on.

I won't sleep, k-keep the radio on,

Reiteration of the commitment to keep the radio on.

I've seen the audio/visual tryin' to make up my mind for me

Observation about external influences trying to influence decisions.

I won't sleep, I keep the radio on

Reiteration of the decision to keep the radio on.

Givin' me somethin' so familiar wanna turn off the light, alright?

Feeling a connection with something familiar and resisting darkness.

I won't sleep, k-keep the radio on,

Reaffirmation of the commitment to keep the radio on.

Will you be my friend until the middle of night?

Asking for companionship until the middle of the night.

I won't sleep, k-keep the radio on,

Restating the commitment to keep the radio on.


Heard it goes, in the night, but I know, deep inside,

Acknowledging external information but trusting inner feelings.

I'm painting pictures in my mind

Engaging in imaginative thoughts or daydreaming.

Triple repetition emphasizing keeping the radio and stereo on.


I won't sleep I k-keep the radio on

Repetition of the decision not to sleep and to keep the radio on.

I won't sleep I k-keep the radio on

-

I won't sleep I k-keep the radio on

-

Will you be my friend until the middle of the night?

Asking for companionship until the middle of the night.

Heard it goes, in the night, but I know, deep inside,

Reiteration of external information versus inner knowledge.

I'm paintin' pictures in my mind

Continuation of imaginative thoughts or daydreaming.


"Oh ho hoh oh hoh oh"

Closing with a vocal expression.
