Nanci Griffith - Radio Fragile lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Radio Fragile lyrics]
We all said you'd never make it
'cause you had that fragile heart
And you were odd within the
Ways of the social
You through a caution to us all
And now when the late night
Drinkers gather for their falls
Someone says they've seen you out
There laughing at us all
You mourned the cause of discontent with
Those who couldn't lose the dark
From the broad of daylight to half spent
Stars just waiting dusk to fall
Tell me, what the hell were you saying?
Was there a point at to it all?
Oh, and did they really see you
Out there laughing at us all
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?
The midnight boy from Minnesota shut you
Down and stole the show
They say that you bitter in your anguish
'cause it was you they ought to hold
You wore your causes on your sleeve
Like a beacon wears the dark
It's only right you should be out
There laughing at us all
Now you are only dust for art
You're a shadow to recall
For all those late night drinkers
In their ragged lonely bars
And we all said you'd never make it
'cause you had that fragile heart
Now, all our hearts you held are wasted
You're out there laughing at us all
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?
'cause you had that fragile heart
And you were odd within the
Ways of the social
You through a caution to us all
And now when the late night
Drinkers gather for their falls
Someone says they've seen you out
There laughing at us all
You mourned the cause of discontent with
Those who couldn't lose the dark
From the broad of daylight to half spent
Stars just waiting dusk to fall
Tell me, what the hell were you saying?
Was there a point at to it all?
Oh, and did they really see you
Out there laughing at us all
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?
The midnight boy from Minnesota shut you
Down and stole the show
They say that you bitter in your anguish
'cause it was you they ought to hold
You wore your causes on your sleeve
Like a beacon wears the dark
It's only right you should be out
There laughing at us all
Now you are only dust for art
You're a shadow to recall
For all those late night drinkers
In their ragged lonely bars
And we all said you'd never make it
'cause you had that fragile heart
Now, all our hearts you held are wasted
You're out there laughing at us all
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?
