oh rodney won't you play this song tonight? o radio can you save my soul tonight? cause we saw you standing there please don't deny it waiting for the show to start i left feeling low -- did you feel the same way i did? alone with a broken heart so radio radio get us through the night when pop heroes go down without a fight 500 parkas were in the house tonight looking good and feeling right cigarettes were burning bright that dance hall it was out of sight! time to set this place alight but let's be honest now now let the truth be told the only salvation for us tonight is to turn on the radio so rodney -- we need you tonight oh rodney won't you play this song tonight? o radio can you save our ship tonight? and now i guess the night is done there's nothing's left open and no place for fun so we turn on the radio light a fuse cause i'm about to blow the streets are empty my heart is heavy so slowly i will go by the neon lights of the city glow (chorus) just pick one out for me make it loud and hard and fast play the songs that we love cause the modern world just kicked our ass just pick one out for us loud and deep and true play the songs that we love when the heroes still came through
