Round and Round the Radio

Verse 1

Well the radio hums in a diner at dawn

Shoes on the linoleum, tapping along

A boy in a leather jacket, hair slicked back

Two sugars in a white cup, engine running out back

(Wah-oo, wah-oo)

Chorus

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Every decade a different sound

We keep on moving round and round

Verse 2

Now a garage band is learning three chords

Parents yell downstairs, they slam their doors

The drums get louder and the amps get mean

Fringe and fuzz on a beat-up machine

(Yeah, yeah)

Pre-Chorus

And the colors go strange

And the floor starts to change

Chorus

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Every decade a different sound

We keep on moving round and round

Bridge

Sequins catching light on a crowded dance floor

A thousand hands rise and the crowd wants more

Then a chorus hits cleaner than it ever did before

Drop

Hands up higher, hands up higher

Sing it back, sing it back

Hands up higher, hands up higher

Sing it back, sing it back

Verse 3

A pocket-sized speaker in a pocket-sized world

Every single voice is a banner unfurled

My grandmother hums what my sister now streams

One long song threading through all of our dreams

Chorus

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Spin that dial and turn it up loud

Every decade a different sound

We keep on moving round and round

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Round and round

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Round and round
