Eye on  the TV

'cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor

It happens to be

Like:

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shot by his own son"

"She used the poison in his tea

and kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story

It's no fun til someone dies

Don't look at me like

I am a monster

Frown out your one face

But with the other

Stare like a junkie

Into the TV

Stare like a zombie

While the mother, holds her child

Watches him die

Hands to the sky cryin,

"Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die

From a distance

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

You all need it too - don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?

Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

Neither the brave nor bold

Will write us the story so

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'



I need to watch things die

From a good safe distance

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

You all feel the same so

Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down

Drown on grave and ground

Part vampire

Part warrior

Carnivore and voyeur

Still have the

Transmitter, sing

to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best

Your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men.

But pull your head on out

Your head please and give a listen

Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile

So impersonal

Devour to survive

So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

Much better you than I
