Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check your pulse
It's proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days
[Verse 2]
Scared of a world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
The great indoors
[Verse 3]
Lamplight makes the shadows play
And posters take the walls away
The TV is your window pane
The view won't let you down
[Verse 4]
So put your faith in a late night show
I bet you didn't even know
Depends on how far out you go
The channel numbers change
[Verse 5]
Scared of a world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
Though lately I can't blame you
I have seen the world
And sometimes wish your room had room for two
[Verse 6]
So go unlock the door
And find what you are here for
Leave the great indoors
Leave the great indoors
[Verse 7]
Check your pulse
It's proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days, of idle days
