Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw the ice face fail
For the first time in years
And the water levels rise
Round the television screen
All your tough man looks
For which you had reserved
The room full of mirrors
And the television screen
[Verse 2]
And the television screen
And the television screen
And the television screen
[Verse 3]
They fell as a child
On the beat down grass
No cuttin', no bruising
Not a mark to be seen
And so some become lost
As their passions will see
Illustrated well
By the television screen
[Verse 4]
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 livin' streets
And still you'd not know
How the city heart beats
[Verse 5]
On the television screen
On the television screen
On the television screen
On the television screen
[Verse 6]
And you're a cluster of nothing
You had 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
[Verse 7]
On the television screen
On the television screen
On the television screen
On the television screen
