[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning like a snowflake in the sun
A butterfly in Harlesden, no I don't have very long
Need an early warning, there's a killer on the run
But I came to deliver only love to everyone

[Chorus]
Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio
Too busy talking to be listening
Why don't you listen to the radio

[Verse 2]
Welcome to the future
I can see the dislocation
Streets are empty
But the towns are flooding with frustration

[Verse 3]
From the way you're leaning
I'll be needing more protection
Wouldn't happen if papa had
Shown you more affection

[Chorus]
Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio
[Bridge]
So Snow White in a world of ruin
Will you follow me
Where easterly winds who blew in
Take us out to sea

[Chorus]
Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio
Too busy talking to be listening
Why don't you listen to the radio

[Outro]
Welcome to the future
We were haunted by the poor
So we decided not to
Believe in ghosts anymore
