Literally it would be a radeo that has green eyes. I think you might want to know what it means figuratively speaking.

I have to go with snakesnfrogs on this one.

The Green Eyed Radio
Peter Mayer / Roger Guth

Once upon a simple man
Make a living any way he can
Workin? his hands all day
Sing a song to keep the blues away

Lift it up, sing it out
He don?t even see the crowd
Lift it up, lift it high
Sing your lullabye

I?m in a traveling show
High wire fools and clowns
I?m the Green Eyed Radio
Bringing the curtain down
And when the show is over I?ll sing to the stars
?Cause I know they will listen
If you tell them who you are

Find the one of your dreams
Feet off the ground you can walk the moonbeams
How much joy can you make
But it?s the happiest hearts that break, so

Lift it up, sing it out
In the middle of the crowd
Ask him where, ask him why
Sing your lullabye

I?m in a traveling show
High wire fools and clowns
I?m the Green Eyed Radio
Bringing the curtain down
And now the show is over
So I?ll sing to the stars
?Cause I know they will listen
If you tell them who you are

Looks like it's a song and an album by the same name, but I don't know if it refers to something else.

My parents had an old hi-fi radio from the early 50's. It had a magic tuning eye thing. It was a tube that glowed green, the more of the tube that glowed the better tuned the station was.

Was a pretty cool radio-FM and short wave.
