It's the killing on this tv screen

Man it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me.

And I don't pretend to know what you know

anything about themselves
cause they're all worried about everybody else.

Look at all those fancy clothes
but these could keep us warm just like those

When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around

That everything good always would remain
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain.

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
