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
