Hand Crank Transmitter Lyrics

Grandaddy Hand Crank Transmitter

Take that hand crank transmitter
Turn it upside down
It might just show tonight
And ride it like a bike
You best reserve your strength
It could go cold and slow
They might show tonight

Ask it what it dreamt
Wake that anemonitor
You better stay awake
It could go cold and slow
And they might come around
And write the details down
It might just come around
You best reserve your strength

For the handshakes
For the luncheons
You best reserve your strength
You best reserve your strength
You best reserve your strength
For the telethons
For the world's fair
You best reserve your strength...
And head for higher ground
Smash that hand crank transmitter

And watch the red search lights
It might just show tonight
And please reserve your strength
It could go cold and slow
And they might show tonight
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
And they might show tonight
