lyrics

I was telling a story
to test her endurance
the thief in her eyes
was not a deterrent

but I don’t mind, that you are so unkind
why should I mind?
I look at you and I go blind

meet me at the beehive
turn my money into flat beer
one leap through the doorway
coulda spared me a bad year

but I don’t mind, that the truth is so unkind.
why should I mind?
if that’s just how it was designed?

and I am just a television
I came to bathe you in blue light
I wanna shape your bad decisions
I want to fly you like a kite

and when the FDA takes all your pills away
I’ll be right there by your side
and when the FBI has got you on the wire
I know just the place to hide

cuz this town’s a lonely child
it’s an endless kiss and it’s a hockey fight
see the cameras in the air
they will rob you while you’re just standing there

there’s an eye that sees through walls
and the nukes are loose and it’s all Russia’s fault
in a week you will find out that
you’ve been starring in a movie with me.

out in Central Europe
cathedrals have antlers
the mark of the pagan
the year with no answers

and I don’t mind, that creatures are unkind.
why should I mind?
have I been missing all the signs?

and I am just a cathode ray tube
I live to glow with your desire
I wanna be your wonder-twin power
I’ll be the secret in the wire

and when the IRS digs up your treasure chest
I will talk you off the roof
and when the NRA has got you in its sway
I’ll try not to be aloof

cuz we buried all our breath
and we laughed at our own expense
we put on a thousand uniforms
and we’re leveraged out on our first-born

honey, all of the craters on the moon
will not hold the tears we’ll all be crying soon
in a week you will find out
that you’ve been starring in a movie by yourself
