Hello, my name is your TV
We've been together so long, so many memories
We've solved so many problems, situated comedies
I fed you ads and movie stars
And you always fell asleep in my color bars
But there's this world outside where the writing's off
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
All the girls they lie and they break your heart
And nothing's done when the street goes dark
Here see California, where pretty people dream
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
And when they'd yell upstairs you'd cry
Little boy inside their lies, in the dark I'd watch your eyes
And I know the way they laugh, the jackals feast behind your back
Here you hide, but still they stab
In the dark I feel you die
In that world outside where the writing's off
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
All the girls they lie and they break your heart
And nothing's done when the street goes dark
Here see California, where pretty people dream
Now see that icy vacant lot where they made your nose bleed
The flannel spread, the heater on, the world is dead
The sun is gone, you take my hand, I'll take you home
You'll never have to be alone
The pictures warping slowly, the scrolling seems unending
The snowy edges blurring, the bars between us bending
Feel you start to breathe, you are alive inside of me
Forever tan and strong and loved, you'll never bleed again
In dreamy California scenes where bad guys meet their destiny
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
