Big TV - White Lies

Slow

I’m gonna settle down slow

Down to the hum of electric life and soul

Faith

In my hands to trade

But for the word and

The light of a bitter saint

And you can get me work?

But I can’t work for free

I’ve got a room downtown

With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star

From garbage on the street

Then you can make a modern life

For a modern girl to lead

Alone, I feel alone

When I’m living in a building

Like a tooth at heaven’s throat

True, it’s a beautiful view

But you know they’re gonna set it on fire

When they feel like something new

And you can get me work?

But I can’t work for free

I’ve got a room downtown

With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star

From garbage on the street

Then you can make a modern life

For a modern girl to lead

But why can’t anything be real?

Emotion like the movies feel…

A pill to break the drone of reverie…

So bring me to the hand of fate

The river or the new arcade

So I can wash the empty hour away

But why can’t anything be real?

Emotion like the movies feel…

So bring me to the hand of fate

The river or the new arcade

And you can get me work?

But I can’t work for free

I’ve got a room downtown

With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star

From garbage on the street

Then you can make a modern life

For a modern girl to lead

Cos I’m living in a room downtown

With a bed and a big TV
