honey pine dresser - tv town lyrics
i know a town where the tv is on all the time
people live in letterboxes much wider than they truly need
when i tried to run away they pulled out a net to catch me
i was not trapped here, they said
they only wanted to protect me
now i live in a town where the tv is on all the time
they locked me in a letterbox much wider than they truly need
i can choose from 1621 channels
please set me free!
i’m starting to believe them
thinking i’m the only one who disagrees
that the whole world is lying, it’s not different from another city
the constantly buzzing frequency that n0body seems to hear apart from me
i escaped from the letterbox as the daily mail was delivered
meanwhile a repeat of friends was playing on channel 4
when at last i stepped out of this evil town i was running in slow motion, crying tears of joy
the ecstasy of liberation
the agony of disillusion
the contrast of normality after a rush of pain or sudden insanity
the amplifying torture of awareness
the unbearable hiss that grows inside of me
in my hometown the tv isn’t yet in use
people plant their letterboxes in front of their house across the street
my parents wouldn’t let me go out to pick up the mail in case i flee
