Lyrics

[Verse 1] Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands Made from the trash, I dug off the heap with my own fair hands Every night I'm back at the shack and I'm sure no one else is there I'm putting the aerial up so I can go out on the air [Chorus] (On the air) On the air (On the air) On the air On the air [Verse 2] Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and tramps For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there But they're all going to know who I am 'cause I can go out on the air [Chorus] (On the air) On the air (On the air) On the air On the air [Bridge] Leaving the car down leafy lane Turning out Tarzan for my jungle Jane Anyone at all, from Captain Zero His band of superheroes standing by a call Oh, it's not easy, no, no, no, no No, it's not easy making real friends [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Don't give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys Half alive on empty white noise, white noise I got power, I'm proud to be loud, my signal goes out clear I want everybody to know that Mozo is here [Chorus] (On the air) On the air (On the air) On the air On the air [Instrumental Break] [Outro] On the air On the air
