Hearts on the Radar Range

Passenger side
lover take me for a ride
love take me for a fool
and the night is empty and cool
but these five senses can feel there's something strange
so weird to discover we're just hearts on the radar range
and there's a pool of blood at the door
something's out there and it's pounding always pounding for more

Driver side
there's nothing here to hide
there's nobody here at all
no response to my clarion call
but these five fingers can feel there's been a serious change
the drummer counts off to my heart on the radar range
but the beat comes apart at the core
something's tearing 'round inside and I'm crawling on your floor

Easy tiger easy now
a communique from the sky on down
informs me of love left out there alone
under a faithless moon the color of bone
easy lover easy now
I'm looking for your heart on the radar range of this town
won't you give me a sign
'cause your love is on the line
someone's out there and they're destined to be mine

Passenger side
love take me for a ride
lover take me for a fool
just take me, fate has been so cruel
and this five senses can see there's something strange
so weird to discover we're just hearts on the radar range
and there's a fool for love wanting more
something's out there and it's pounding always pounding
like a headache tide against the shore
of my mind
driver side
there's nothing here to hide
but these five fingers can feel there's been a serious change
the drummer counts off again to hearts on the radar range
but the beat comes together at the core
someone's tearing 'round inside and I'm falling at your door

Steady, steady as she goes
just where she goes nobody ever knows
inform me of the whereabouts of desire
where's that passionate sun to set me on fire
steady, lover, as I go
I'm looking for the puzzle piece heart in the lost and found
shoot out your signal flare
tell me love is waiting there
this one is desperate and is searching everywhere
for someone to care
for someone to carefully rearrange
the clockwork of my heart on the radar range

Wel, soul drifter, I certainly hope that lover "out there" will read this poem, be touched by it, and rush into your waiting, loving arms.
