Are You Out There Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C
Perhaps I am a miscreation
No one knows the truth, there is no future here
And you're the DJ speaks to my insomnia
And laughs at all I have to fear
Laughs at all I have to fear
You always play the madmen poets
Vinyl vision, grungy bands
You never know who's still awake
You never know who understands and
CHORUS:
Are you out there, can you hear this?
Jimmy Olson, Johnny Memphis
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
And though the static walls surround me
You were out there and you found me
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
Last night we drank in parking lots
And why do we drink? I guess we do it, 'cause
And when I turned your station on
You sounded more familiar than that party was
You more familiar than that party
It's the first time I stayed up all night
It's getting light, I hear the birds
I'm driving home on empty streets
I think I put my shirt on backwards
CHORUS:
Are you out there, can you hear this?
Jimmy Olson, Johnny Memphis
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
And though the static walls surround me
You were out there and you found me
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
BRIDGE:
And what's the future, who will choose it?
Politics of love and music
Underdogs who turn the tables
Indie versus major labels
There's so much to see through
Like our parents do more drugs than we do
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Corporate parents, corporate town
I know every TV set that has them lit
They preach that I should save the world
They pray that I won't do a better job of it
Pray that I won't do a better job
So, tonight I turned your station on
Just so I'd be understood
Instead another voice said I was
Just too late and just no good_____
CHORUS: (## key change - up 2 semitones ##)
Calling Olson, Calling Memphis
I am calling, can you hear this?
I was out here, listening all the ti-e-ime
And I will write this down and then
I will not be alone again, yeah
I was out here, listening
Oh yeah, I was out here, listening
Oh yeah, I am out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
