TELEVISION FLICKERS ALL THRU MY NIGHTS
BATHING ME IN IT'S OMNISCIENT LIGHT
SMOTHERING MY BRAIN IN IT'S ICY DRONE
IT SHOWS ME THINGS I'VE NEVER KNOWN

BEAUTY QUEENS DANCE BEFORE MY EYES
WHILE TEENAGE WHORES OFFER HEIR SURPRISE
AN ENDLESS PARADE OF DECADENCE AND SIN
TRANSFIXED I SMILE A HUNGRY GRIN


OUT IN THE NIGHT, OUT IN THE RAIN
THERE IS NO LOVE, THERE IS NO PAIN
ONLY DARK SKELETONS FLOW IN MY SIGHT
ONLY MY WRAITH WALKS ON MY RIGHT

SOMETIMES A YOUNG GIRL STRAYS TO NEAR
WITH PRETTY EYES FILLED WITH SEX AND FEAR
SHE'LL WALK WITH ME AND MAKE NO SOUND
WHILE BRILLIANT BLOOD FLOWS TO THE GROUND


TELEVISION FLICKERS ON THRU MY NIGHTS
BURYING ME IN ITS OMNISCIENT LIGHT
SHROUDING MY BRAIN IN COLD BLUE MIST
IT SHOWS ME THINGS THAT CAN'T EXIST

EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS SO COLD
THERE ARE NO MEMORIES FOR ME TO HOLD
I FEEL ONLY ICE FORMING IN MY HEAD
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TURN TO RED
