You Shoulda Heard...

[Verse 1] And I woke up [Yeah] Just a voice inside of a place No walls, no chains on my hands But I can't stand and leave You wouldn't understand [What?] Let me take a second, try to explain Here in Cloudbank, the city steams to the heavens Where you pick the weather if you're sick of the rain And the posters on the walls [Yeah], they show a face That's my girl, she's performing today And we're here to watch her Here to listen, every citizen Every [?] politician But, oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice You never heard it before, I'm assumin' Well then, you shoulda been there last night Cause in the morning light, everything's gone to ruin Oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice You never heard it before, I'm assumin' Well then, you shoulda been there last night Cause in the morning light, everything's gone to ruin [Refrain] No, they can't take away [No, they can't take away] No, they can't take away [No, they can't take away] No, they can't take away [No, they can't take away] [In my chest, you can hear the Transistor] [In my chest, you can hear the Transistor] [In my chest, you can hear the Transistor] [In my chest, you can hear the Transistor] [Verse 2] Now, I'll have had a few regrets in my life [Yeah] But none that ever resulted in this But the first time she sung, I felt my heart stop [What?] And the last time we talked - felt a similar twist That's the Transistor in my chest - it keeps pumpin' They call her "Red" cause her name means nothin' With a packed house, and a hot mic [Yeah] Don't try to deny that you never felt somethin' Motorbikes roar over every petition Every [?] that walks the streets - that new [?] Every Creep, every Jerk, every Hairdo that stops you Take a second, here's a Terminal to talk to "System Override" "Anyone out there?" [Yeah] If I leave this comment, will you hear me talkin' Or is it just me and Red left to paint pictures Need a brush? You can use the Transistor [Refrain] No, they can't take away [The two of us] Oh my god, you shoulda heard the voice You never heard it before, I'm assumin' Well then, you shoulda been there last night In the morning light, everything's gone to ruin
