Rash of Robberies
State Radio Lyrics

Solarium malaria lookin' for the stereo.
He wanted to find the stereo while avoiding getting kicked out

Wanted to save being excommunicated from the area. A it's OK.
He wanted to avoid getting exiled from the area

In the city she said he cut a cord of wood, No bigger than thimble but still plenty good. A it's OK.
She said that he cut a small yet useful piece of wood in the city

Cause it's just a bump on a rash of robberies.
It's just one of many crimes happening lately

On account of the world economy that's makin' us sick.
The recent spike in crime is due to the poor state of the world economy

Go get the man who said he's on to me,
Find and apprehend the person who suspects me

He thinks we're in the kitchen with our sticks.
He believes we're armed and dangerous

But he don't know that Paris is burnin' down,
He's not aware that another crisis is happening in Paris

You'd never know it in this town.
The town is not aware of what's happening elsewhere

The governor's walkin' around like he's got tricks for you.
The governor is behaving suspiciously

Catch as Cassius never become the killing machine.
Don't become a violent person like Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali)

Run him over ruff shod till he bleeds army green out.
Take down the violent person using force

So devout to the saint that lost his seat he never seen,
He's loyal to a forgotten saint

Semi-automatic rosary out devout.
He considers his weapon a religious item

In a world too sad for Solomon we just sit.
We cannot solve the problems of the world

I'll watch your economy,
I'll keep an eye on your financial situation

I'll tell you when the police have it fixed.
I'll inform you when the police solve the issue

So take a minute to laugh it over,
Take a moment to laugh about it

We'll make sure it's all true,
We'll verify the information

Just like she said,
Exactly how she described it

He saw the fall. A it's ok.
He saw the baby fall, but it's okay because someone caught him

Sousa found a place to go, A radio in his head that said.
Sousa found a home and now hears radio broadcasts in his imagination

An old sand lot anomaly that's savin' this day.
A small and unusual occurrence is making a difference today

In a world too sad for sodomy We're just sitting in the kitchen with our stray.
We're just trying to get by in a difficult world

Governors are walkin' around, We'll make sure that they do right by you.
The governors are behaving suspiciously, but we'll ensure they act appropriately

So you think you might go to Beatrice, Even though the letter was never found.
Despite not finding the letter, he's considering going to Beatrice

Maybe it will come tomorrow noon. She is askin' her fallen saint to Please return her straitlaced fighter
She hopes the letter will arrive soon and is praying for her lost love to come back

Where are you my sweet Desmond Doss, Have you softly gone to winter?
He is wondering where Desmond Doss is and if he's passed away

Here I've brought you your two two dollar bills back.
He's returning Desmond's two-dollar bills

But I'm not waiting for sweet Eliza.
He's not waiting for Eliza anymore

She can have her water colors back, I found them on last December eve.
He found her watercolors and is returning them to her

You look strangely quite so familiar, The way you talk of supper time but I don't know who she is, Don't know who she is.
He recognizes the person but doesn't remember who they are

And you, you bring this beloved stranger. At the foot of this pile on Gideon's bed, She gave me a needlepoint motorbike.
This person brought a strange but cherished gift and put it on Gideon's bed

In a letter sent to December, I will wait for you to just humble me home.
He wrote a letter saying he'll wait for her to come back

Here my dear a sweet Nostrovia, In a letter sent to December, I will wait for you to just humble me home.
He's sending a letter to December, saying he'll wait for her to come back
