RADIANT

Performed by Johnny Stranger

Written by Peter Anthony

 The day I solved her mystery

I was staring into traffic and the words 

they came to me

Sudden, clear, encapsulating

Every question on the tip of my tongue 

Then I turned around

And there I found

All the answers were gone 

It’s such a strange thought

Why not?

Radiant smile 

I am just a fool

Foolishly conducting my faint philosophy 

Painting pictures on the wind

Like some spark of electricity

Shooting like a comet

through a cold and empty space

Asking foolish questions of fate 

Strange thoughts 

Why not?

Radiant smile asking 

Strange thoughts 

Why not? 

Radiant smile 

All of these crooked days 

All of her love

Tearing me wide open 

All of these crooked days 

All of her love

Tearing me wide open 

The day I solved her mystery

I was thinking of the ocean

And the cars, they spoke to me 

Distant, like the hissing of the sea 

Inside a porcelain shell 

Fractal spirals spinning outward

To the moon, its ancient scars

She’s contemplating madness with the stars 

Contemplating madness with the stars.
