The Oedipus Complex - Screens текст песни

Gone to spend the day
Or a week or two
In the casting glow
Where we all turn blue
Had a lot to think
And a lot to drink
I'll be back again
But I don't know when
Spend a month or two lying in bed
Spend my time in Tommy Westfall's head

Play the image back
Again and again
Think I'll stay in place
Where I see my friends
Had to stare so hard
My eyes they bled
As I locked myself
In Tommy Westfall's head
Spent a lifetime dedicated in viewing
Any grip I had was reassuring

Gone to spend the year
In the couch cocoon
Tommy Westfall's head
Spills into the room
Keep it dark and warm
Quiet and alone
With my TV set
I'm fine on my own
Waste a lifetime dedicated in tuning
Always turn my brain off til it's burning

Gone back to the tomb
Where I spend my days
With the memories
I can replay

Had to last so long I fell unconscious
Stared at screens til I fell nauseous
Tried to watch away my boredom
Slice my eyeballs from their sockets
