Got a new haircut
Cost me just six bucks
Filled a plastic bag with stuff I need in a big dumb car I'm off my knees
Fill it up and make me start again
Ooh it's the rumble and moan
Transistor AM cassette drone
It's the sound without a home address and hydromatic hopelessness
Fill it up and start over again
Yeah fill it up and start over again and again
All night!
R. A. D. I. O
Hit me hard and hit me low
Static engine blow the scene a rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O
Ah hit me just like Lionel Rose
R. A. D. I. O
I heard stomach and soul
A rumble underneath my toes
And it didn't come with a clear face
Designer punk or daily rate
Fill it up and make me start again
Yeah fill it up and make me start again and again
All night!
R. A. D. I. O
Hit me hard and hit me low
Static engine blow the scene a rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O
Ah hit me just like Lionel Rose
R. A. D. I. O
A rumble in the old machine
Ronnie James D. I. O
Fell down like Bocephus under all the noise and grease
Automatic mono style R.I.P. it up monkee style
Rumble was written by Tim Rogers.
Rumble was produced by George Drakoulias.
