Television lovers never cry
|
When the scene is over they just wipe the pain away
|
When they make you weary you can turn the volume down
|
When it's all too scary you can watch another station
|
Television lovers never lie
|
All their lines are true as far as anyone expects
|
Everyone can see they are not touched by what is real
|
When they wash away the blood there is no wound behind it
|
Television lovers never die
|
|
Bridge: From the inside I'm electric living loving all the while
|
Crying when the torment touches laughing, giving you my smile
|
Then you change all my controls or turn me off and go to sleep
|
Nothing I can scream will reach you, all my channels run too deep
|
Still you miss the cuts and slashes, some of them were made by you
|
Do you think I fake the ashes in my eyes?
|
Are they lies? Some disguise?
|
|
Would you be my television lover
|
Would you learn to silence what you feel at my command
|
I would like to be the televiewer for a while
|
You can be the one to wait and I will change the stations
|
Television lovers are such fun
|
Each of us can be one if we really want to try
|
We can be anonymous performers on a screen
|
If we all can learn to wash our feelings off like greasepaint
|
Television living has begun
|
