Television by Lucid Nation

In the rock and roll tradition of guitar players getting to step up and sing a song.

Television

Horizon to horizon
the emptiness
deep and carnivorous
can you feel this?

all night I turn
burn
yearning single mindedness
dreaming new colors
in a sleep of blindness

you are more beautiful than television
(beautiful)
you are more beautiful than television
(turn it off)

I'm going to push all your buttons
check out every channel you have
I will play you way up loud
switch you happy from sad

you are more beautiful than television
(beautiful)
(turn it off)

if I stopped to think
if I thought to think

you are more beautiful than television
(beautiful)
(turn it off)

In true Situationist mode, before I clicked on this link I was on the phone with Comcast. My cable was out last night (so I read "Two Gentlemen of Verona" instead). It was still out tonight so I called & the woman asked me how long it had been out & I couldn't remember the last time I'd had it on which was very suspicious to her. Then it took me 15 minutes to log into YouTube because I forgot how. ANYWAY, I'm always jealous of Ronnie's guitar playing & it's so good to hear him step up the mike.
