On my alarm clock radio
It's the loudspeaker where I was employed
It's the dead air radio playin'
All these love songs making me paranoid

I can't hear what their playin', playin'
Scream out their windows but I can't hear what their sayin'
In my headphones
It sounds so right, it sounds just like I'm there
In my headphones
I sing out loud and make the bus stop people stare
In my headphones
Their lips all move but the sounds all drowned away
In my headphones
Up on a sound wave
Up on a sound wave

If I want to be a hero someday
I'm going to need a theme song to be playin'
I'm in my own world and my soundtrack's on solo
I'm in my own world and my soundtrack's on phono

Scream out their windows but I can't hear what their sayin'
In my headphones
It sounds so right, it sounds just like I'm there
In my headphones
I sing out loud and make the bus stop people stare
In my headphones
Their lips all move but the sounds all drowned away
In my headphones
Up on a sound wave
Up on a sound wave

I can't hear what their playin', playin'
Scream out their windows but I can't hear what their sayin'
In my headphones
It sounds so right, it sounds just like I'm there
In my headphones
I sing out loud and make the bus stop people stare
In my headphones
Their lips all move but the sounds all drowned away
In my headphones
Up on a sound wave
Up on a sound wave

In my headphones
