T.V.X.

TV- if I own it I will watch it.
TV- watch a tv, own a tv.
TV- if i own it i will watch it.
TV on!

One time, I sat down and saw on my TV someone playing dead- a gun right by their head.
Some extended contemporary viewing led me to perceive that- Oh! They weren't pretending- they were dead.

I should have know, I should I should have seen it in the signs.
The shape of man unwrinkles, melting in the beam.
New shift to light! Don’t turn on me, my modern man.
Naked climbs the lightning- you’re beyond eye.

T.V.X. is crazy! T.V.X. is crazy. Oh, why didn’t I believe them when they told me it had a mind of it’s own?

I sat back down and tried another channel where I saw a man, with a lady, kissing her like crazy.
They were kissin’, they were touchin’, but he never held her hand. So I could see they were pretending- it wasn't true love.

Two cells, but of a brain. Now soldered in the thought- of what individuality dissolving in the waves.
To an image of an image! Once replicating lives- now reimagined versions of earlier times.

T.V.X. is crazy! T.V.X. is crazy. O, why didn’t I believe them when they told me it had a mind of it’s own?

Who’s gonna turn it off?
Who’s gonna turn up with the power?
Who’s gonna turn it off?
Who’s gonna turn up with the power?

TV!

Oh, it’s alright- you can keep your TV on.
Oh, it’s alright- you can keep your TV on.
Yeah, it’s alright- you can keep your TV on.
Oh, it’s alright- you can keep your TV on.

This isn’t TV- this isn’t TV as i know it- ain’t no foolin’ me.
This isn’t TV- this isn’t TV and I know it- ain’t no foolin’ me.
This isn’t TV- this isn’t TV as i know it- ain’t no foolin’ me.
This isn’t TV- this isn’t TV and I know it- ain’t no foolin’ me.

This isn’t TV as I know it!
If I knew it I would stop!
This isn’t TV as I know it!
If I knew it I would turn it off!
