Idiot Box

I can turn you off
Well I just tried & left you off
Tumbling you made me art
But you sure ain't a rock'n'roll
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon
Billy singer don't waste my time
Just turning on to What's My Line
Preacher boy you're here this night
You should have road the golden stars
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon
Old friend Smith works for the box
Oh what a haggard face
Hope he gets a lot of shocks
From his Fender bass
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is unlucky moon
