Cosmic American Lyrics

Anais Mitchell Cosmic American

i'm a live wire, i'm a shortwave radio, do you copy?
i'm a flash of light from the radar tower to the runway
if i leave you i'm gonna do it semi-automatically
do you blame me?

you are so far out there in the static
hey, baby, am i coming through?
i am up above the buildings
i can see forever out the window of a hotel room
i spent a long night with a stranger i give my body to
still i miss you

bridge
still i never knew a love so tender
we're out behind your astro van
and you've got me up against the fender
you are the cosmic american man

i'm a live wire, i'm a shortwave 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?
