Inside my TV I Never stop to wonder why I'm Way down now I'm way down now Some faceless get on the screen The most honest man I've ever seen I'm way down now I'm way down now Won't you show me something true today C'mon and show me anything but this She took us by the hand Hell was the promised land I'm Way down now I'm way down now I'm lying by the road Because she cut off all my clothes I'm way down now Way down now Won't you show me something true today C'mon and show me anything but this Inside my future I What I see just makes me cry I'm way down now I'm way down now The clocks will all run backwards All the sheep will have two heads And Thursday night and Friday Will be on Tuesday night instead And all the times will keep on changing And the movement will increase There's something about the living, babe That sends me off my feet There's breeding in the sewers And the rats are on their way They're clouding up the images of my perfect day And I know I'm not alone And I know I'm not alone And I know I'm not alone Anything but this Do you hear me I said Inside my TV I Never stop to wonder why I'm way down now I'm way down now Then some faceless get comes on my screen The most honest man I've ever seen I'm way down now I'm way down now Something new Something true Something new Something true
