The B-52’s – Channel Z

The B-52’s – Channel Z lyrics

I am livin’ on Channel Z

Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z

Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Static fillin’ my attic from Channel Z

I don’t know, I feel like somethin’s happenin’
Somethin’ good is happenin’
I feel love has gotta come on, and I want it
Somethin’ big and lovely

And I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin’ on the edge of Z

Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella
Giant stacks blowin’ smoke
Politicrits pushin’ dope

All I know, we’ve got to change what’s happenin’
Somethin’ good could happen
I feel light has gotta come through and I need it
Somethin’ big and lovely

I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin’ on the edge of Z

Waste dumps, toxic fog
Irradiate and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys tellin’ lies
‘Bout time I got wise

Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z

Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Gettin’ nothin’ but static
(Static)
Static fillin’ my attic from Channel Z

Gotta tune in
(Pico waves)
Gotta tune out
(PCB’s)

Gotta tune in
(Market crash)
Gotta tune out
(Polar shift)

Gotta tune in
(Narrow minds)
Gotta tune out
(Space junk)

Gotta tune in
(Bombs)
Gotta turn out
(Atomic lasers falling from the sky)

Where’s my umbrella?
(Gonna shoot that static down the drain)
(Gonna put that static out of my brain)
Where’s my umbrella?
(Gonna put up my antennae free)

Hamburger ads pop up in my head
On the edge of Aquarius
(Secret wars)
I’m livin’ on the edge
(Take my money away)

I know I feel a change is happenin’
Somethin’ good will happen
I feel love is comin’ on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen

I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin’ on the edge of Z

Channel Z, all static, all day forever
Time to open up your windows
Let in better weather

Market crash, polar shift
Space junk, narrow minds
Bombs!
