"TOTAL RECIPROCITY"

Written by Ryder Houston

​​​

There's something on the air

Something on a TV in Tokyo

It's coming in clear now

Breeze down in Delaware

Wind on a shortwave stereo

Remembering just how

​​

I don't watch your videos

And I don't wanna hear your scenario

Or the sound comin’ out from your radio

​

I'm waiting

For your total reciprocity

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

I'm waiting

Hear my words in true fidelity

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

​

It’s written on a rag

Written on a fold of your maiden name

The indigo daydream

Powers of a body bag

Glory-gone, well-wrought weathervane

Again and again, seems

​​

I don't watch your videos

And I don't wanna hear your scenario

Or the sound comin’ out from your radio

​

There’s something real to be said

About how quickly you left me in bed

So strange, the other night at the bar

The way you fell in love with my scar

So, don’t leave me lying around

Like a wound I just wanna pick at (Just waiting)

Oh, buster (And waiting)

You’re gonna have to do better than that

​​

I'm waiting

For your total reciprocity

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

I'm waiting

Hear my words in true fidelity

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

I'm waiting

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

I'm waiting

Just waiting

And waiting (For the sound coming out from your radio)

​

I'm waiting​ 

(You're gonna have to do better than that)

Just waiting

And waiting 

(Do I have to do everything by myself?)

I'm waiting

(What are you fucking waiting for?)

Just waiting

And waiting

(And I'll wait forever if I have to)

I'm waiting
