Songtekst:

Billy: Four minutes and counting.
Jim: O.K.
Billy: They pressed the button, Jim.
Jim: They pressed the button Billy, what button?
Billy: the big red one.
Jim: You mean THE button?
Billy: Goodbey Jim.
Jim: Goodbey! Oh yes. this ain’t au revoir,
it’s goodbey! Ha Ha!
This is KAOS. It’s a beautiful, balmy,
southern California summer day.
It’s 80 degrees… I said balmy… I could say
bomby… Ha! Ha!… O.K. I’m Jim and this is
Radio KAOS and with only four minutes
left to us, let’s use this as wisely as possible.
Molly: Everybody got someone they call home.
Jim: Out at Dodger Stadium. It’s the bottom of the
seventh, the Dodgers are leading three to
nothing over the Giants, and for those of you
who are looking to go surfing tomorrow, too
bad.
(‘Phone rings.)
Jim: I’m kinda lost in here to tell you the truth…
O.K. good. Ladies and gentlemen, if the reports
that we are getting are correct, this could be it.
Billy if you’re listening to me, please call now.

After a near miss on the plane
You swear you’ll never fly again
After the first kiss when you make up
You swear you’ll never break up again
And when you’ve just run a red light
You swear to yourself you’ll never drink and drive again
Sometimes I feel like going home
You swear you’ll never let things go by again
Sometimes I miss the rain and snow
And you’ll never toe the party line again
And when the east wind blows
Sometimes I feel like going home

Jim: Billy, if you’re listening, please call.
Californian Weirdo: Sole has no eyes.
Molly: Goodbey little spy in the sky,
They say that cameras don’t lie,
Am I happy, am I sad, am I good,
am I bad?
Jim: Billy, if you’re listening please call.
Californian Weirdo: Sole has no eyes, sole has no eyes.
Billy: Ten, nine, eight, seven,
Margaret Thatcher: Our own independant nuclear deterrent has helped to keep the peace,
Billy: Six, five, four, three,
Ordinary person: …you’ve got a job…
Billy: Two, one,
Margaret Thatcher: For nearly forty years
Jim: Goodbey Billy
