Your father raises his arms amazing how strong a word can be
Your mother is baking, her palms are shaking pouring us a round of tea
And If I ask them for a little story which one would they choose to tell
One about heaven's proof or maybe one about hell
I don't think you know but I think you see
Let me show you what it's all about
I'm the T.V. glow in blink you'll see
When I show you what it's all about
Your sister plays us her song amazing how strong a girl can be
The fire is blazing, horizon is breaking in her smile is a victory
And if I ask her for another encore which chords could spell
The fear of a child home to war over one known to rebel
I don't think you know but I think you see
Let me show you what it's all about
I'm the T.V. glow in a blink you'll see
When I show you what it's all about
I don't think you know but I think you see
Let me show you what it's all about
I'm the T.V. glow in a blink you'll see
When I show you what it's all about
An invisible hold out-controls the earth as it spins its revolutions,
invisible revolutions held on earth spin out of control
In this information age I'm a yellow page full of mellow rage if this world is a stage
try see it in a broad way these dog day afternoons
Sun sets jazz turns to blues, cassettes burn Om Kalthoums
On repeat, jaws of defeat gnaw discretely on the cotton sheets
Over your eyes shoulder demise, remember one day older and wise
Let the spoils of time to the victor stick like soil on your fingertips
I don't think you know but I think you see
Let me show you what it's all about
I'm the T.V. glow in blink you'll see
When I show you what it's all about
I don't think you know but I think you see
Let me show you what it's all about
I'm the record groove in a blink you'll see
When I show you that it's all to lose
