Anaïs Mitchell - Cosmic American Lyrics

I'm a live wire
I'm a short-wave radio
Do you copy?
I'm a flash of light
From the radar tower to the runway
If I leave you
Gonna do it semi-automatically
Do you blame me?

And you are so far
Out there in the static
Hey baby, am I coming through?
I'm up above the building
I can see forever
Out the window of a hotel room
Spent a long night
With a stranger I give my body to
Still I miss you
Still I never knew a love so tender
We're out behind your Astro-van
And you got me up against the fender
You are the cosmic American

I'm a live wire
I'm a short-wave radio
Do you copy?
I'm a flash of light
From the radar tower to the runway
If I love you
I'm gonna do it semi-automatically
Do you blame me?
Do you blame me?
Do you blame me?
