Before the cocaine and the midnight train, she was a pretty girl
Before the tears fell on her lonely smile, she was a silly girl
She was dancing around like there was no one around, there wasn't any girls
She was holding a bag over a mirror in class like one of many girls, many girls

When it was time to put it all on the line she was a ready girl
Takin' the shots, another one on the rocks, she was a steady girl
Dope in the bag, another tote in the trash, it's just a pity, girl
Never enough, no, it was never enough, she was a gimme girl, gimme girl

And the beat it rolls over and over
Like the wheels under the Chevy Nova
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on
On forever through the stars, it's solar
Yeah, she's in the radio

Radio
The radio
Radio
Radio
Oh, oh

Before the streets and all the lonely creeps, he was a good boy
Before the goons he did it all for fun, now he's a hood boy
He put the weight in the bag, he carried weight to the ave to be the big boy
He got high on the stash, yeah, he got high on the glass, now he's a sick boy, sick boy

And the beat it rolls over and over
Like the wheels under the Chevy Nova
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on
On forever through the stars, it's solar
Yeah, she's in the radio

Radio
The radio
Radio
Radio
Oh, oh

Fell asleep on the dash and then you wake up crashed, yeah, it's a crippled world
Not awake for a ride, well, then you're dreamin' alive, yeah, in your little world
Out there chasin' the thrills, runnin' away from your bills, yeah, it's a rigged world
Like a rat in a mill, you're running dead on your heels
Out in the real world, real world

And the beat it rolls over and over
Like the wheels under the Chevy Nova
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on
On forever through the stars, it's solar
Yeah, she's in the radio

Radio
The radio
Radio
Radio
Oh, oh

Radio
It's the radio (it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, on forever)
Radio
Radio
Oh, oh

Radio
Radio
It's the radio (it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, on forever)
Radio
Radio
Oh, oh
