Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Antiques, every other sentiment's an antique
As obsolete as warships in the Baltic
I'm drivin' on a straight road, it never alters
And the radio serenades but doesn't falter
[Verse 2]
You offer infrared instead of sun
You offer paper spoons and bubble gum
[Verse 3]
Late sky, like an all night radio station without morning
Like stumblin' on Pearl Harbor without warning
[Verse 4]
You offer infrared instead of sun
You offer bubble gum
[Verse 5]
You give me Faron young, four in the mornin'
You give me Faron young, four in the mornin'
Every mother's son's romantic
Every mother's son is frantic
[Verse 6]
The sunset makes a fence out of the forest
But here I am with head inside the bonnet
I've lost just what it takes to be honest
[Verse 7]
You offer infrared instead of sun
You offer bubble gum
[Verse 8]
You give me Faron young, four in the mornin'
You give me Faron young, four in the mornin'
Forgive me Faron young, four in the mornin'
Forgive me Faron young, four in the mornin'
