Hello, My Name Is Your T.V.

Hello, my name is your T.V We've been together so long So many memories We solved so many problems Situated comedies I fed you ads and movie stars And you always fell asleep In my color bars, but there's this World outside where the lighting's off Scenes last too long and you lose the plot All the girls, they lie and they break your heart And nothing's done when the streets go dark Here, see California, where pretty people dream And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea And when they'd yell upstairs, you'd cry Little boy inside their lies In the dark I'd watch your eyes And I know the way they laugh The jackals feast behind your back Here you hide, but still they stab In the dark I feel you die in that World outside where the lighting's off Scenes last too long and you lose the plot All the girls, they lie and they break your heart And nothing's done when the streets go dark Here, see California, where pretty people dream Now see that icy vacant lot where they made your nose bleed The flannel spread, the heater on The world is dead, the sun is gone, here take my hand, I'll take you home You'll never have to be alone The picture's warping slowly, the scrolling seems unending The snowy edges blurring, the bars between us bending Feel you start to breathe, you are alive inside of me Forever tan and strong and loved, you'll never bleed again In dreamy California scenes where bad guys meet their destiny And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
