Atmospherics Lyrics by Tom Robinson

North by Northwest

1982

Leave the bureau in the snow
Catch a tram to Onkel Pö
Early evening ring around the moon
Slip in past the concierge
By the bikes and up the stairs
Snap the latch and creep into the room
[Chorus]
You throw off your coat
Pick up the post
And put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Prop up your head
And smoke a cigarette
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio
In the city late tonight
Double feature, black and white
Bitter Tears and Taxi to the Klo
Find a bar, avoid a fight
Show your papers, be polite
Walking home with nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
You throw off your coat
Pick up my note
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio
Atmospherics after dark
Noise and voices from the past
Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne
Interference in the night
Thousand miles on either side
Stations fading into the unknown
[Chorus]
So throw off your coat
Butter some toast
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
We'll smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
