Cosmic American - Anaïs Mitchell

I’m a live wire

I’m a short-wave radio

Do you copy?

I’m a flash of light

From the radar tower to the runway

If I leave you

Gonna do it semi-automatically

Do you blame me?

And you are so far

Out there in the static

Hey baby, am I coming through?

I’m up above the building

I can see forever

Out the window of a hotel room

Spent a long night

With a stranger I give my body to

Still I miss you

Still I never knew a love so tender

We’re out behind your Astro-van

And you got me up against the fender

You are the cosmic American

I’m a live wire

I’m a short-wave radio

Do you copy?

I’m a flash of light

From the radar tower to the runway

If I love you

I’m gonna do it semi-automatically

Do you blame me?

Do you blame me?

Do you blame me?
