About

This is the epic finale to the rock opera Hedwig and the Angry Inch. In the film, it breaks from the narrative somewhat, much like “Wicked Little Town” which directly precedes it. “Midnight Radio” doesn’t take place in any set location, but rather an idealized rock show where all the players are dre...

Midnight Radio Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Cameron Mitchell]
Rain
Falls
Hard
Burns
Dry
A dream
Or a song
That hits you so hard
Filling you up
And suddenly gone

[Verse 2: John Cameron Mitchell]
Breath
Feel
Love
Give
Free
Know
In you soul
Like your blood knows the way
From you heart to your brain
Know that you're whole

[Chorus 1: John Cameron Mitchell]
And you're shining
Like the brightest star
A transmission
On the midnight radio
And you're spinning
Like a 45
Ballerina
Dancing to your rock and roll

[Verse 3: John Cameron Mitchell]
Here's to Patti
And Tina
And Yoko
Aretha
And Nona
And Nico
And me
And all the strange rock and rollers
You know you're doing all right
So hold on to each other
You gotta hold on tonight

[Chorus 2: John Cameron Mitchell]
And you're shining
Like the brightest stars
A transmission
On the midnight radio
And you're spinning
Your new 45's
All the misfits and the losers
Yeah, you know you're rock and rollers
Spinning to your rock and roll

[Outro: Miriam Shor & John Cameron Mitchell]
Lift up your hands
