Radio Free Europe (Live In Toronto 1983) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Decide yourself if radio's gonna stay
Reason, it could polish up the gray
Push that, push that, push that to the hull
Back isn't anything at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ray beam station
Beside yourself

[Verse 2]
Keep me out of country and the word
Disappoint them, leading us absurd
Push that, push that, push that to the hull
That this isn't nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Straight off the boat
Where to go?

[Chorus]
Callin' out in transit
Callin' out in transit
Radio Free Europe
Radio
[Verse 3]
Beside defying media too fast
Instead of pushin' palaces to turn it off
Put that, put that, put that to the test
That this isn't really resolved

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ray beam station
Beside yourself

[Chorus]
Callin' on in transit
Callin' on in transit
Radio Free Europe
Radio

[Bridge]
Beside yourself
Calling on a boat
Harbor's cold

[Verse 4]
Out of country and the word
Disappointers leading us to servе, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Straight off the boat
Wherе to go?
[Chorus]
Callin' on in transit
Callin' on in transit
Radio Free Europe
Radio Free Europe

[Outro]
Callin' on in transit
Callin' on in transit
Radio Free Europe
Radio
Man
Thanks, goodnight
(Thank you very much)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
