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.
