television screens

saw the ice face fail

for the first time in years

and the water levels rise

'round the television screens

all your tough man looks

for which you had reserved

for a room full of mirrors

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

they fell as a child

on the beatdown grass

no cutting

no bruising

not a mark to be seen

and so some become lost

as their passions will see

illustrated well

by the television screen

shall we tangle our thinking?

shall we give it a name?

let it sit at the table

bring it in from the rain

i could lay you right down

on these lively living streets

and still you'd not know

how the city heart beats

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

you're a cluster of nothing

you are a beauty for the sake

how dare you go about living

as a relic from a dream

as the sky shutters down

on the antiquated scene

on the room full of mirrors

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen

on the television screen
