The Spirit of Radio Lyrics

Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays that song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way, hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact in your happy solitude Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free All this machinery making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah, your honesty One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free [album version:] For the words of the prophets Were written on the studio wall Concert hall And echoes with the sound of salesmen, of salesmen, of salesmen ________________________________________________________ Lyrics by Neil Peart & Music by Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson (Rush) Published 1980 by Core Music Publishing CAPAC/ASCAP (US) / Heath-Levy Music Ltd (UK) Produced by Rush & Terry Brown for CAT Productions Ltd ________________________________________________________
