You're talking loud but I can't hear a word you say I wanna hear you out but the words are washed out grey I wanna listen but we speak in different tongues And I just can't see you back where you've been coming from It's all just noise anyway I'm switching the channels on the radio The bad news sticks while the good news comes and goes I'm feeling desensitised, I'm feeling numb The bluelight, the standby, waiting for the sun Today they told me things were looking pretty bleak They said "stay tuned, we'll have more within the week" The columns tumble down like heavy summer rain The deluge floods my mind and sweeps my sense away
I'm switching the channels on the radio The bad news sticks while the good news comes and goes I'm feeling desensitised, I'm feeling numb The bluelight, the standby, waiting for the sun Static rain, a communication breakdown I don't believe them, I don't believe them Fear-mongering and divisive rhetoric Don't wanna listen, it's all just noise anyway I'm switching the channels on the radio The bad news sticks while the good news comes and goes I'm feeling desensitised, I'm feeling numb The bluelight, the standby, waiting for the sun
