Animals on T.V. singing about some pain that they once felt There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself I wanted to pretend that I [studio] / it [live] was better, better, better on the phone I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone
So we talk about ourselves in hell To forget the love we never felt all the old jokes that work so well universal truth was a moment's lie
Don't try to stop us don't try to stop us don't try to stop us Get out of the way
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see She sees her father in that old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs Animals on TV singing about something they felt at some point I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous What's the point?
As I watched the velvet drapes appear And the door was closed for forty years As we hide what we don't wanna hear As we hide what's really in our ears
He is coming from a part of hell Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well He can tell that we're oblivious It's addiction of routine as well
Making fools out of the best of us Making robots of the rest of us And the tale to tell in America today Where's our time just look Don't try to stop us, don't try to stop us, don't try to stop it Get out of the way
