I Don't Want to Be on Tv - The Airborne Toxic Event

Bit by bit as plucky falls to sleep

She sits there in the night of terror and watches her tv And it’s so quiet here in tonight, she looks skinny in the light

In her under wire her face so fine, she’s higher than a kite

She says what about me;

and I’m dying inside complete

Have you ever wanted anything so bad you couldn’t see?

No oh oh;

no oh oh not me;

no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv

In my town there’s a tv station, cracks just like a flair?

He’s staring at a woman, she is staring back at him

You can cut the tension with a knife;

we’re expecting rain tonight

There’s a weather system blowing in from Santa Ana all night

She thinks, what about me, so what’s here on tv

I don’t care about your pompous ass, I care about this baby

No oh oh;

no oh oh not me;

no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv

Everyone in this city seems to take it like a drug

Sit up all night faces so white, they just can’t get enough

And the shows are all the same, and there’s something I can’t name

The snickering of this flickering screen the noise numbing my brain

So I think well, what about me, I’ll just (mumbled) of me These walls and bars and then there’s whores just dying next to me No oh oh;

no oh oh not me;

no oh oh… I don’t wanna be on tv

No oh oh;

no oh oh not me;

no oh oh;

no oh oh…
