Television, virtual saviour
Inner vision for all mankind
They found a new drug that might just save you
Stops you thinking "Never mind"
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures
I've been washing my hands
I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of
Stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand
Deal a card, I'll take my chances
Self-suspicion, the ace is palmed
They found a new drug down in Mesopotamia
Ruritania or some such land
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures
I've been washing my hands
I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of
Stand, stand, stand
We've got to stand, stand, stand
We've got to stand, stand, stand
We've got to stand, stand, stand
Out on the freeway, counting fences
Measuring life I left behind
Time is the distance between me and my feelings
Fenced-in feelings pass with time
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures
I've been washing my hands
I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of
Stand, stand, stand
We've got to stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand
