Cathode Ray Clinic

I sit in front of this TV

And I can feel it swallow me

Dull my brain and steal my soul

Seduce me til my heart is cold

You can watch a student die

Or a plane fall from the sky

In a thousand dollar dress

Are glamour girls with plastic breasts

See our cripples, blind and deaf

With your money make them blessed

Let us show them that you care

You only see them once a year

God is here, He talks to me

And through the man whose tears preach

Show me something I can buy

So God will keep me high and dry

Is it real, I don't know

Turn it off, where do they go?

Is it real, can you tell

Apparitions hot from hell

Black Rock me girls on video

Dance sex with me on tipi toe

Beauty without tenderness

And they ridicule in a tiny dress

Only seven miles away

Lie victims of that black brigade

Three boys are shot and one is dead

As I stretch out on my bed

God is here, He talks to me

And through the man whose tears preach

Show me something I can buy

So God will keep me high and dry

Is it real, I don't know

Turn it off, where do they go?

Is it real, can you tell

Apparitions hot from hell

They're dying, dying in my room

They're laughing and they're dancing too

Crying, lost everything they own

And smiling on big Bob's game show

I'll go for the car, Bob, I'll go for the car

I want the car, Bob, I want the car

Behind the glass, inside the light

What is on the box tonight?

Is it real, I don't know

Turn it off, where do they go?

Is it real, can you tell

Apparitions hot from hell

I'm attending every day

The clinic of the cathode ray

Dull my brain and steal my soul

Seduce me til my heart is cold
