Idiot Box Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Call me out with the blue light eyes
Nervous, tired, desensitized, let it go
Let's go
[Chorus]
All that skin against the glass
All that skin against the glass
All these things we think we lack
All this time we can't get back
[Verse 2]
All of us on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Call me out when you see the signs
Disconnect, unrecognized, let me know
Let's go
[Chorus]
All that skin against the glass
All that skin against the glass
All these things we think we lack
All this time we can't get back
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
All that skin against the glass
All that skin against the glass
All these things we think we lack
All this time we can't get back
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, when you find it's just a dream
Always gets to me, always gets to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh, when you find it's just a dream
Always gets to me, always gets to me
[Bridge]
Always gets to me, always gets to me
Always gets to me, always gets to me
Always gets to me, always gets to me
Always gets to me, always gets to me
[Outro]
Everyone on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Everyone on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Everyone on the idiot box
Come on outside, let me hear those thoughts
Everyone on the idiot box
Call me outside, let me hear your thoughts
