[Verse 1]
And I woke up [Yeah]
Just a voice inside of a place
No walls, no chains on my hands
But I can't stand and leave
You wouldn't understand [What?]
Let me take a second, try to explain
Here in Cloudbank, the city steams to the heavens
Where you pick the weather if you're sick of the rain
And the posters on the walls [Yeah], they show a face
That's my girl, she's performing today
And we're here to watch her
Here to listen, every citizen
Every [?] politician
But, oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice
You never heard it before, I'm a**umin'
Well then, you shoulda been there last night
Cause in the morning light, everything's gone to ruin
Oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice
You never heard it before, I'm a**umin'
Well then, you shoulda been there last night
Cause in the morning light, everything's gone to ruin
[Refrain]
No, they can't take away
[No, they can't take away]
No, they can't take away
[No, they can't take away]
No, they can't take away
[No, they can't take away]
[In my chest, you can hear the Transistor]
[In my chest, you can hear the Transistor]
[In my chest, you can hear the Transistor]
[In my chest, you can hear the Transistor]
[Verse 2]
Now, I'll have had a few regrets in my life [Yeah]
But none that ever resulted in this
But the first time she sung, I felt my heart stop [What?]
And the last time we talked - felt a similar twist
That's the Transistor in my chest - it keeps pumpin'
They call her "Red" cause her name means nothin'
With a packed house, and a hot mic [Yeah]
Don't try to deny that you never felt somethin'
Motorbikes roar over every petition
Every [?] that walks the streets - that new [?]
Every Creep, every Jerk, every Hairdo that stops you
Take a second, here's a Terminal to talk to
"System Override" "Anyone out there?" [Yeah]
If I leave this comment, will you hear me talkin'
Or is it just me and Red left to paint pictures
Need a brush? You can use the Transistor
[Refrain]
No, they can't take away
[The two of us]
Oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice
You never heard it before, I'm a**umin'
Well then, you shoulda been there last night
In the morning light, everything's gone to ruin
