Devil in the shortwave
Drumming up the steering wheel
Pulling up house party
2009 MGMT remix
Ending with the usual
Hatchback blasting Nickleback ironically
Aux cord teenage hide and seek
Chicken in the drag race
We were born there again -
AM/FM baptism
Radio receiver
Rusted Subaru suped
With the single cylinder subwoofer
Our college catering jobs could afford
I imagine we were happy then
Not knowing it
Focusing on limitation
Of the static of an antenna going out of range
What the hipster in all of us wouldn’t give
To go out of range once in a while
A weekend out of service
Without the phantom limb sensation
Groping our pocket for a signal
What the townie scenester in all of us wouldn’t give
For one more crack at a crackle of shortwave radio at 2am
Alipping down the freeway in a rust bucket
With good friends, Taco Bell, and nickleback blasting,
Ironically of course,
Ironically.
