Last night Lady Gaga gave us a little taste last night in St. Paul, Minnesota of her new album with “Living on the Radio,” a soft pep talk of a ballad.
It’s not an indictment of pop stardom and success, but it’s not a complete celebration of it either. She sings of the loneliness having no friends and constantly traveling, but concludes that it’s all worth it because she’s living her dream. In true Gaga form, she even devotes a line to her “little monsters.”
I’ve got no friends
I’m my own queen
But I’m living on, living on the the radio
That’s my dream
Stone river eyes
And a lonely heart
If I’m living on the radio
They won’t tear me apart
10 steps and roses on the tree
10 steps and lonely nights
But you’ve still got me
On the road
Road paved in gold
Baby you must believe
Baby you must be free
Keep living on, living on the radio
That’s my dream
Baby you’ve gotta friend
And so many little monsters, yeah
Keep living on, living on the radio
That’s your dream
And when there’s nowhere to go
And your friends are gone
And you only got your daddy to call
It will be all right, honey
‘Cause your songs are on the radio
‘Cause the showbiz, all the caviar
The champagne and the sold out shows
But it will be all right honey
‘Cause your songs are on the radio
