Well, those electric sheep to the valley they keep walkin
On the radio waves selling tennis shoes and beer
It induces sleep when that DJ starts his squawkin’
I’m lookin’ for one song to save me on this midnight clear

So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio?
One song that could steal our hearts
Before they turn into silver and gold
Well I’m drivin’ my car real slow and my baby wants to know
When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio?

One star in the sky so I named it Ottis Redding
Or maybe Marvin Gaye lookin’ for his Tammi Turell
There ain’t no mountain high enough to stop this wedding
Rollin’ out of Memphis to Detroit I can hear those bells

So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio?
One song that could steal our hearts
Before they turn into silver and gold
Well I’m drivin’ my car real slow and my baby wants to know
When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio?

Well, we’ve been drivin’ all night, ever since we were teenagers,
Up to that border town where the outlaw station air waves
Where the DJ’s outta sight and his heart is so courageous
And he loves every song that he’s puttin’ on for the free and brave

So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio?
One song that could steal our hearts
Before they turn into silver and gold
Well I’m drivin’ my car real slow and my baby wants to know
When we gonna hear our song
When we gonna hear our song
When we gonna hear our song
on that Pirate Radio?

D Bm G D | repeat and fade out

You told me you’d hold me
Now I know better
All you did fold me honey
Like a dear John letter
You put me in a box
With God and his uncle
Like a pair of gym socks
Lookin’ like Artie Garfunkle

[Pre-Chorus]
You took my heart The check’s in the mail
We’ll do lunch when you get out of jail

Sure Pinocchio
Anything you say
Sure Pinocchio
Have it your own way

You took me for a ride
Well, I’m crawling out of this gutter
You hurt me down inside
What was that you muttered
Somethin’ bout wishing on a star
For a fish out of water
Well, I know who you are
Your Gepetto’s wicked daughter

[Pre-Chorus]
This hurts you more that it hurts me
You never inhale, yeah, and cops eat free

Sure Pinocchio
Anything you say
Sure Pinocchio
Have it your own way
Sure Pinocchio
What hurts me makes you stronger
Sure Pinocchio
That nose keeps gettin’ longer and longer

[Pre-Chorus]
You took my heart the check’s in the mail
We’ll do lunch when you get out of jail

Sure Pinocchio
Anything you say
Sure Pinocchio
Have it your own way
Sure Pinocchio
Anything you say
Sure Pinocchio
That nose keeps gettin’ longer and longer
