lyrics

We live our lives on the telephone.
We long for sleep and bleed monochrome.
Our books are all written in morse code
to keep the children from knowing what we know.

We'll never off-board the el-train,
so we'll stare through the windows at the rain.
We'll never honor all the checks that we have written.
We resent the accusation that we're living.
And by the way, don't you know
that it's time to take our seats for the show.
A self-made millionaire, tattooed with a brand name--
they can't tell us apart 'cause we all look the same.

And we're so damned tired at the end
of the broadcast day.
We're so empty,
and we like it that way.

I want to live my life in the slow lane.
I need to waste my days on an airplane.
I want test pattern friends and a farewell toast
when I retire at the coast.

We need a thousand channels to define ourselves.
We strive for limbo, but dream of hell.
We've got broadband apathy and air pollution warnings.
We're still drunk when we wake up in the morning.

We're so goddamned tired at the end
of the broadcast day.
We're so empty
and we like it that way.

I want to live my life in the slow lane.
I need to waste my days on an airplane.
I want test pattern friends and a farewell toast
when I retire at the coast.
I'm gonna call myself by a different name.
I want to freeze at 100 centigrade.
I want a test pattern lover whom I'll hurt the most
to spread my ashes at the coast.

We're so goddamned tired at the end
of the broadcast day.
We're so empty
and we like it that way.
