Mexican Radio Lyrics - Singles - Stan Ridgway

(Wall of Voodoo) 

Performed by Wall of Voodoo 

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder 

And the touch of a world that is older 

Turn the switch and check the number 

Leave it on when in bed I slumber 

I hear the rhythms of the music 

I buy the product and never use it 

I hear the talking of the DJ 

Can't understand just what does he say? 

CHORUS 

I'm on a Mexican radio 

I'm on a Mexican radio 

I dial it and tune the station 

They talk about the U.S. inflation 

I understand just a little 

No comprende-it's a riddle 

CHORUS 

I wish I was in Tijuana 

Eating barbecued iguana 

I'd take requests on the telephone 

I'm on a wavelength far from home 

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder 

I dial it in from south of the border 

I hear the talking of the DJ 

Can't understand just what does he say? 

CHORUS
