Katie Melua - Pictures On A Video Screen lyrics

rate me

I open up one eye and I can see

a million TV screens from wall to wall

And as I look again it seems to me,

my picture is projected on them all

From far away I see my body now

I can follow every movement that I make

But I can’t remember where I am or how,

or whether I am dreaming or awake

Sooner or later, I’ll believe the world’s not round

I’ll turn up the vision, turn up the sound

For I have discovered that I’m not what I seem,

I’m only a picture on a video screen

And as I rise to get myself another drink,

it seems like I’m some distance from my brain

I’m looking down and I begin to think,

this must be what it’s like to go insane

Sooner or later, I’ll believe the world’s not round

I’ll turn up the vision, turn up the sound

For I have discovered that I’m not what I seem,

I’m only a picture on a video screen

Sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down,

fear and confusion are all around;

I know that the problems,

and the nightmares that I dream

are only pictures on a video screen

They're only pictures on a video screen
