Television

+++ ..I just wanna know what else is on, yeah,
+++ I just wanna know, is that so wrong…
fulfills my need for drama, electric diorama
+++ she fills the room with voices, gives me so many choices
why would I ever wander?..

when I am lost and weary, my eyes gone soft and bleary,
+++ then I watch, fascinated, by the endless parade of
icons and infomercials,
+++++ television is my friend, what would I do without her?
+++++ television is my friend, why did I ever doubt her,
+++++++ redeems my empty nights with laughter and advertisements,
what would I do without her?
(I just wanna know what else is on…)

my gift for self-deception is aided by good reception,
+++ in my third floor apartment without a cable hook-up
we share a fine selection,
+++++ television is my friend, what would I do without her?
+++++ television is my friend, why did I ever doubt her,
+++++++ she fills the room with voices, gives me so many choices,
what would I do without her?
(I just wanna know what else is on…)
+++++ television is my friend..
+++++ television is my friend..
+++++++ she fills my empty nights with laughter and advertisements,
what would I do without her?
(I just wanna know what else is on…)
what would I do without her?
what would I do without her?..
