Grandaddy - Hand Crank Transmitter

Take that hand crank transmitter
Turn it upside down
And ride it like a bike
You best reserve your strength
It might just show tonight
It could go cold and slow
They might show tonight

Wake that anemonitor
Ask it what it dreamt
And write the details down
You better stay awake
It might just come around
It could go cold and slow
And they might come around

You best reserve your strength
For the handshakes
You best reserve your strength
For the luncheons
You best reserve your strength
For the telethons
You best reserve your strength
For the world's fair
You best reserve your strength...

Smash that hand crank transmitter
And head for higher ground
And watch the red search lights
And please reserve your strength
It might just show tonight
It could go cold and slow
And they might show tonight
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
It could go cold and slow
And they might show tonight
