Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh yeah
I spent ten years, half my life
Just gettin' ready
Then it was time
[Verse 2]
Warpage in my figures
Radios appear
Midnight was the barrier
Back in 1963
[Verse 3]
Each night the covers were unfolded
Each night, it's Susie's turn to ride
Watch out, the one they call their brother
Covers on his eyes
Murmurs in the background
It will be time
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah
Susan and her brothers
Charles the grinnin' boy
Put me in the backseat
And they took me for a ride
Yeah, the radio was on
Can't you did the locomotion?
Kingdoms of the radio
Forty-five RPM
[Verse 5]
Too much revolution then
Each night the covers were unfolded
Each night, it's Susie's turn to ride
Watch out, the one they call their brother
Covers on his eyes
Murmurs in the background
It will be time
[Verse 6]
It's past midnight, said Charles, the grinning boy
And looking at me greedily, said it's 1964
In Times Square now
People do the polka
Dominance submission
Radios appear
This New Year's Eve was the final barrier
Dominance submission
Radios appear
[Verse 7]
We took you up and we put you in the back seat
Dominance submission
Radios appear
From year to year
We looked out for the venture
Dominance submission
Radios appear
[Verse 8]
