[Verse 1]
There's somethin' on the air
Somethin' on a TV in Tokyo
It's comin' in clear now
Breeze down in Delaware
Wind on a shortwave stereo
Rememberin' just how
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't watch your videos
And I don't wanna hear your scenario
Or the sound comin’ out from your radio
[Chorus 1]
I'm waiting for your total reciprocity
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
I'm waiting, hear my words in true fidelity
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
[Verse 2]
It’s written on a rag
Written on a fold of your maiden name
The indigo daydream
Powers of a body bag
Glory-gone, well-wrought weathervane
Again and again, seems
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't watch your videos
And I don't wanna hear your scenario
Or the sound comin’ out from your radio
[Bridge]
There’s something real to be said
About how quickly you left me in bed
So strange, the other night at the bar
The way you fell in love with my scar
So, don’t leave me lying around
Like a wound I just wanna pick at (just waiting)
Oh, buster… (and waiting)
You’re gonna have to do better than that
[Chorus 2]
I'm waiting for your total reciprocity
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
I'm waiting, hear my words in true fidelity
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
I'm waiting
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
I'm waiting
Just waiting and waiting
(for the sound comin' out from your radio)
I'm waiting
[Outro]
(You're gonna have to do better than that)
Just waiting and waiting
(Do I have to do everything by myself?)
I'm waiting
(What are you fucking waiting for?)
Just waiting and waiting
(And I'll wait forever if I have to)
I'm waiting

[Verse 1]
Makin’ love in the sunlight, daylight
Light beams streakin’ through the windowpane
Yeah, the covers can’t keep it out
Did I hear you say you you like me better
When the light is right?
Well, we can wait for night to fall
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know my self respect is peculiar
Oh, wontcha please understand me?
I know a place where we can go
Where the sun goes down
Where a kiss knows no bounds
No boundaries
No more
[Chorus 1]
I know a place
I know a place
[Verse 2]
This tower’s tickin’ for you
To breathe into my mind
A new phase, a time to follow through
Can I hear you say it?
Say it’s never too late to change
A heartbeat’s well-been set into motion
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I let you disregard this to cool the air
Oh, wontcha take this from me?
I know a place where we can go
Where the moonlight’s out
Where a kiss knows no bounds (I know a place)
No boundaries (I know a place)
[Bridge]
Tapering off my medication
Seeing a sexual vindication
Let it go, tell me in my ear
Those secret words I hold so dear
Endless blood subvert proportions
Sealing off your love distortion
Herein lies my pale complexion
Underneath your sex inflection
[Chorus 2]
I know a place
I know a place
I know a place (let me know, let it show)
I know a place (let it go to a place that knows no bounds)
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Let’s stow our self-obsessed little barriers
Oh, with these hands, I command thee
I know a place where we can go
Where the light is right
Where a kiss knows no bounds
No boundaries
No more
[Outro]
(Let me know, let it show)
(Let it go to a place that knows no bounds)
(Let me know, let it show)
(Let it go to a place that knows no bounds)

[Verse 1]
Could it be that the lady is me
In the photograph?
I'm afraid 'cause it feels too good
And I want it too bad
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's just not true
Couldn't ask for any more than you
Because you look at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be that you want me?
[Chorus 1]
I never dreamed someone like you
Could want someone like me
[Verse 2]
I'm not sure, but the more that it's real
Well, the more it's right
Ooh, what a night; it's as though we've been lovers
For all of our lives
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There must be a god
Could it be that he’s heard me at last?
Because you look at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be the lady’s me?
[Chorus 2]
I never dreamed someone like you
Could want someone like me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Ryder Houston & Ariana Kelly]
All the pain (the pain, the pain)
And the pleasure's the same (the pleasure)
It goes so fast
I'm the girl with the strawberry hair
In the photograph
[Pre-Chorus 3]
So, come on, let's dance (dance)
Let me have it while I have a chance (chance)
‘Cause there’s another world where there are other girls
But tonight, there's only me
[Chorus 3]
I never dreamed someone like you
Could love someone like me

Ryder Houston Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Ryder Harrison Houston is an American filmmaker and musician from Dallas, Texas. As much as his evocative sound dotes on alternative pop acts Depeche Mode, Garbage, and even Madonna at her most controversial, his inky discography remains adhered to a certain groovy allusion to chopped-and-screwed electronica with his spidery vocals weaving clichés of lust and rock ‘n’ roll menace anew. ... more
