Transistor Dreams by mike ward

Transistor Dreams

A single ear plug connected
to a revolution in the pocket of my coat
nine volts of power all i needed
And take the music everywhere I go

a time machine at the age of thirteen
eyes closed my mind transported
The Who, The Stones, Motown, The Monkees
every lyric my soul recorded

Chorus
In my transistor dreams
could be anything I wanted to be
an overnight sensation
of my g-g-g-generation
in my transistor dreams

It was the time of Apollo moon shots
Of riots and assassinations
body bags on the evening news
And runaway imaginations

But DJ’s were our pilots
Oh trailblazers on the air.
every hour, on the hour
we could escape to anywhere
CHORUS

Bridge: under my pillow every night
out of our minds out a sight
so forbidden oh so new
made a dork like me almost feel cool

Plugged into something much bigger than me
Oh a little circuit box of freedom
waking the dead. Oh shaking lots of heads
Yeah it had only just begun.
CHORUS
