lyrics

Reporting live from the field one day,
I said ‘back to you’ in the usual way.
This time, instead of an empty chair,
there was you and we were on the air.

[Chorus]

When the cameraman leaves the news truck,
Flash me!
When the cameraman leaves the news truck,
Moon me!

Starry night in a twig hut,
man, did I have the pot’s luck:
sitting next to you through the whole meal,
nice piece to start our reel.
We’ve done stories on fishless sushi,
nude hot springs, and victims of zombies.
Intersplicing the news feed with your choice vinyl leads.
Could it be you prefer me to a busty nurse interviewee?

[Chorus]

We return from commercial with the evening news.
I’ve got a special announcement for the handsome man dressed in the velour suit.
You’re not tied down, but you got an anchor.
I’m not tied down, but I got an anchor.
We’ve got no regrets, and we haven’t even had the best part yet.
I’m hoping for dramatic features.
I’m hoping for foreign correspondence.
I want more smiles. How about you?
