I haven't been this excited about anything in a long time! OMG This is fucking incredible!
And there's so mucb more where that came from...
Vicarious
Eye on the TV -
'cause tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavour it happens to be like.
Killed by the husband,
drugged by the ocean,
shot by his own son - he used to poison.
Through this tube, as kills trickle by,
this black little story is 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 crying ‘why oh why?’
Cuz 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 flowing.
Knee to the grave, noble.
Writers just tore his soul.
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.
I need to watch things die - from a good safe distance.
Vicariously I am -
while the whole world dies.
You all feel the same so -
why can’t we just admit it?
Blood, like rain, come down..
Drum on, grave and drown.
Caught in the pothole -
you're carnivores and voyeurs.
Still, heaven sends me to sing to the death rattle.
La la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
*talking in the background*
Credulous, the bestial desire to believe in
angels in the hearts of men.
Put your hand onto your head, please -
believe and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
