On The Air Lyrics
Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands
Made from the trash I dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands
Every night, I'm back at the shack I don't know why I do it there
I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
On the air
Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there
But they're all going to know who I am 'cause I can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
On the air
Leaving the car down leafy lane
Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane
anyone at all
From Captain Zero and his brand of superhero
standing by a call
Oh it's not easy
No it's not easy
Making real friends
Don't give me your steak-reared milk boys, milk boys
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear
I want everybody to know that Mozo is here
On the air
On the air
On the air
Made from the trash I dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands
Every night, I'm back at the shack I don't know why I do it there
I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there
But they're all going to know who I am 'cause I can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane
anyone at all
From Captain Zero and his brand of superhero
standing by a call
Oh it's not easy
No it's not easy
Making real friends
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear
I want everybody to know that Mozo is here
On the air
On the air

Last tape went to who asked for it numerous times. Save the last dance for me? Pete: Can’t help but think that’s it’s an exceptionally long lunch
From Captain Zero and his brand of superhero standing by a call Oh it's not easy No it's not easy Making real friends
huh?
Peter wrote this in 1977/78. At that time, the CB radio craze was pretty big in America. Many would use names of superheros as their user nom de plume. Interestingly, our social need for anonymity continues on the air today.. or shall we say "on the net".
