[Verse 1]
(Male)
Radio demon in a thrift-store suit
Dust on his teeth from the static and soot
Laughing in the glow of a busted sign
Pulled the plug on the screen and the silver line
(Female)
TV demon in the late-night glow
Flicker in her eyes like a dying show
He said
"Cut to black
" with a crooked grin
Rolled the credits before it could begin
[Chorus]
Both:
The radio killed the movie star
Buried the tape
Then raised the bar
Back on the air with a wicked tune
Hear the scream of the green voodoo
(Male) Canceled your kings and queens
(Female) Canceling your pretty scenes
Both:
Turn that dial
It’s coming for you
With the scream of the green voodoo
[Verse 2]
(Female)
Billboard halo
Cardboard crown
Every little idol getting hunted down
He circles their names in a faded chart
Sharpie through the face
Through the beating heart
(Male)
Heard you praying to the neon fame
Heard you mouth the sponsor’s name
He just twists the knob
Lets the feedback rise
One last ad
Then a thousand goodbyes
[Chorus]
Both:
The radio killed the movie star
Left that reel in a burned-out car
Back on the air with a jagged tune
Hear the scream of the green voodoo
(Male) Next in line
It’s you
(Female) Every bright lie
Every view
Both:
Static crown
Yeah
He’ll see you through
To the scream of the green voodoo
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to low pulse
Whispered duet]
(Male)
Who’s the next to be canceled
Say it
(Female)
Say your name
Let the signal play it
(Male)
You built your throne on a borrowed glow
(Female)
He takes it back with a single show
Both (rising):
Call in now if you dare
If you dare
He’s live on the line
He’s already there
[Chorus]
Both:
The radio killed the movie star
Tore the poster
Cut the guitar
Back on the air like a bad debut
Hear the scream of the green voodoo
(Male) Every channel
Every feed
(Female) Every costume
Every lead
Both:
Turn that volume
Let it bleed through
To the scream of the green voodoo (voodoo)
