Lyrics   status: confirmed

My darling cruises the streets for pleasure
Skyscrapers in the dead love dawn
Throbbing blood mind selfless creature
Forever yours and then she's gone

Radios play nothing when she's far away
TV antenna nothing gone to waste
Radio transmitting nowhere it falls away
She's far away

Every corner creeping panic
Freak lighting in her abstract mind
Rubber stamps and dreams of cashflow
Wild blood ecstatic crime

Radios play nothing when she's far away
TV antenna rusting gone to waste
Radio transmitting nowhere it falls away
She's far away

Every day I feel more like her
Street magic in the burning dawn
Out for blood my selfless lover
Forever yours and then she's gone

Radios play nothing when she's far away
TV antenna nothing gone to waste
Radio transmitting nowhere it falls away
She's far away
It falls away
She's far away

NOTES:

• The second single from the album, as a radio edit with the entire middle jam removed!
• Thurston sings the verses with Lee joining in on the chorus.
• Lee uses a modified analog delay for the primary effect in this song, and his tech even built him an "Antennabox" that sat perched on his mic stand for the 2009 tour.
• Performed on Later with Jools Holland.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

• ANTENNA single - EDIT - 3:34

  Radical edit with almost 3 minutes removed!

• iTunes Live From SOHO - LIVE - 7:01

  Recorded live June 9th, 2009 at SoHo Apple Store.
