Song lyrics On the radio by Regina Spektor

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That soloīs really long
But itīs a pretty song
We listened to it twice
īCause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
Youīre young until youīre not
You love until you donīt
You try until you canīt
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone elseīs heart
Pumping someone elseīs blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it donīt get harmed
But even if it does
Youīll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That soloīs awful long
But itīs a good refrain
You listen to it twice
īCause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio
