Television selling this and that
Pretty women say I want to look like that
More than willing to pay
All of that money, but it still won’t stay
Little children, hear your father scream
Every action like a puppet on a string
The exact same way
Lower your mind to fall in the rain

Oh the days the rain would fall your way
And you’ll be high ’cause you got sad
‘Cause you got sad
‘Cause you got high
Ohh man

Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams
He had you with him
