On & Off (National Broadcast TV)

Set the stage, camera in its place
Open with the fade, in the day, you go your way

Out again, everything starts and ends
Everything will depend, on the time, sometimes I find
In my charmed life

That it's on then it's off, amazed by what it costs
Just to know where you are... I stepped out way too far
I'm belly up to the bar and it's rising up on me now

Put my love on TV, now I can see
What it means to the industry, the powers that would be
Ruling over me, National Broadcast TV

All our lives, our dreams inside, the tape unwinds

And we're there then we're gone
Still, the show goes on
It's a ride that I'm on, I'm riding till it stops
All the bets are off, I'm calling: "I'm all in! Ok!"

Put my love on the TV screen, take it away from me
Is it what you really need for you to believe?
I can see how it's gonna be, National Broadcast TV
