The Tubes - TV is King lyrics

rate me

(Rundgren/Spooner/Steen/Prince/Welnick/Cotten/Anderson/Waybill/Styles)

I wish I was the man with the mechanical heart

I'd conquer all my enemies alone

I'd tear the guys apart

then scatter the pieces

I wish I was the man in the soundproof booth

I wish I had a chance to stump the band

or maybe tell truth

and maybe I could win a color television

I really love my--television

I love to sit by--television

Can't live without my--television

TV is king

You're my everything

I wish I had the girl with the bouncy hair

We'd ride off in a brand new car

or fly a plane somewhere

like probably Jamaica

I brush my teeth, shampoo my hair, and shave my face

Apply the necessary aerosol

in the appropriate place

And we'll spend the night together watching television

I can't turn off my--television

Don't really know why--television

I understand my--television

You got your works in a drawer and your color's on track

You have to break away but you always come back

You make a hundred changes but you're always the same

You make me so excited and you make me so lame

You're just a tube full of gas and a box full of tin

But you show me your charms and I want to jump in

Oh if only your chassis was covered with skin

'Cause TV you're my everything

I really love my--television

I love to sit by--television

Can't live without my--television

I can't turn off my--television

Don't really know why--television

I understand my--television

I really love my--television

TV is king

You're my everything

TV is king
