Hero offered me a prize
And freedom sprung out of its way
Surprise came out of its hiding place
Tripped over a stranger and looked in his face
Looked deep into his dentist eyes
Telling the future from the holes in my smile

[Chorus]
Been waiting all night
Falling in love with my AM Radio
And all the music starts a monotone crusade
Sets the clock in my chest at the right speed

My hero had me hypnotised
Just listen to his languid voice
I rose out of my hiding place
I turned on my wireless and my heart started to race
I heard that night was closing in
I quietly shuffled my cards to navigate my way

[Chorus]
Been waiting all night
Falling in love with my AM Radio
And all the music starts a monotone crusade
Sets the clock in my chest at the right speed

[Chorus]
Been waiting all night
Falling in love with my AM Radio
And all the music starts a monotone crusade
Sets the clock in my chest at the right speed

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Been waiting all night
Falling in love with my AM Radio
And all the music starts a monotone crusade
Sets the clock in my chest at the right speed

[Chorus]
Been waiting all night
Falling in love with my AM Radio
And all the music starts a monotone crusade
Sets the clock in my chest at the right speed
