The Greatest Song
Lion In The Living Room
Here is the story along with the soundtrack
I'm seven years old in downtown Oakland
I'm alone in the front seat of the parked Ford Falcon
And my mother is somewhere in that grey building
Speaking of longing to her psychiatrist
Just fifty minutes to wait
As the sun burns the cracked vinyl seat
And I am glued to the radio
I am lost to the radio
There's some new song that's rising in me
It's the greatest song
Sometimes I sing along
As those voices go high
I watch my spirit fly
It's the greatest, the greatest
Back home now and they're fighting again
She can't be happy and he can't understand
I'm hiding downstairs but voices and tear sounds keep jamming in
I got two angry voice caught in my left ear
Got a transistor radio gripped to my right ear
If I turn it loud enough there's only one sound I hear
And I am glued to the radio, I am lost to the radio
There's some new song that's rising in me
It's the greatest song...
