(Verse 1) I twisted the dial on my old tabletop Past the pop and the jazz where the living things stop The static grew loud then a voice came in clear Saying "Welcome back, cats, to the broadcast of fear" From a radio tower that burned in the woods (Chorus) And it’s Station W-B-U-R-Y on the air tonight A gothic rockabilly signal jumping out of sight The dead DJ plays a heavy, scratching sound Beaming up a nightmare from deep underground Oh baby, tune in and let the static flow (Verse 2) The saxophones wailed through the cathode-ray tube And the bass line was bouncing like a curse in a cube A ghostly announcer with a smooth velvet voice Said "You listened in, darling, now you don't have a choice" As the vacuum tubes glowed with a sickening green (Chorus) And it’s Station W-B-U-R-Y on the air tonight A gothic rockabilly signal jumping out of sight The dead DJ plays a heavy, scratching sound Beaming up a nightmare from deep underground Oh baby, tune in and let the static flow (Verse 3) I tried to pull the plug but it grew to the wall The speakers were laughing at my desperate call The music got faster with a slap-back delay Warping the room till the walls turned to gray And a shadow began to crawl out of the grill (Chorus) And it’s Station W-B-U-R-Y on the air tonight A gothic rockabilly signal jumping out of sight The dead DJ plays a heavy, scratching sound Beaming up a nightmare from deep underground Oh baby, tune in and let the static flow (Verse 4) A dead studio audience cheered for the band A trio of skeletons playing firsthand They dedicated a ballad to my mortal heart A retro routine that would tear me apart As the needle stuck hard on an infinite loop (Chorus) And it’s Station W-B-U-R-Y on the air tonight A gothic rockabilly signal jumping out of sight The dead DJ plays a heavy, scratching sound Beaming up a nightmare from deep underground Oh baby, tune in and let the static flow (Verse 5) Now I’m trapped in the airwaves at three in the morning An eternal request line that came with no warning My voice is the static on your radio dial Singing gothic rockabilly with a permanent smile Forever broadcasting from the dark side of time (Chorus) And it’s Station W-B-U-R-Y on the air tonight A gothic rockabilly signal jumping out of sight The dead DJ plays a heavy, scratching sound Beaming up a nightmare from deep underground Oh baby, tune in and let the static flow
