Uptown Free Radio - The Lawrence Arms

It’s been twenty thousand days since the best ones hotels

Plastic sheets

Tasteless food

Dialysis machines

The telephone hasn’t rung since April

Staring windows

Ballroom jokes

Respirators

Kidney stones

Neon skies open up three Saturdays a month

The air in uptown swells

The windowpanes can go to hell slow summer walking through a bad neighborhood

toothless smiles renew ventricles

The radio is live the listeners have found their reason

The phone hasn’t rung since April

The music turns alone into home
