"So sometimes I believe..."
Eye on the T.V. '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 kinda 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 T.V.
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying:
"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 flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the story so
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.
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 come down.
Drown on grave and ground.
Part vampire.
Part warrior.
Carnivore and voyeur.
Stare at the transmitter.
Sing to the death rattle.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie
Credulous, divest your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of me.
Pull your head on out
Your head believes it 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.
