You get the moon
I'll get the stars
You get the wind
I'll get the cars
You make the stops
And I'll make the starts
Tonight
You get the gum
I'll get the Pez
Lucille Ball
Desi Arnez
I got the soap
You get the toys
I'll get the girls
And you get the boys
You make the light
I'll make the noise
Tonight
Living inside of a little glass room
Living inside of the tube
Everyone's made out of little thin lines
Sometimes their fingers are blue
Mine too
You get the cops
I'll get the phone
I'll get the nurse
And you go on home
Sally loves Bob
Jim needs a shave
The inside's a knot
What a way to behave
Tonight
You get the tape
I'll get the rule
You bring the steaks
I'll fill the pool
You watch the lawn
I'll watch the door
You watch a little
I'll watch some more
Tonight
Living inside of a little glass room
Living inside of the tube
Everyone's made out of little thin lines
Sometimes their fingers are blue
Their minds are too
Living inside of a little glass room
Living inside of the tube
Everyone's made out of little thin lines
And sometimes their fingers are blue
Me too
And living inside of a little glass room
Living inside of the tube
Oh, everybody's made out of these little, tiny, thin lines
And sometimes their fingers are blue
Their minds are too
I'm still inside of a little glass room
Oh, I'm still inside of this tube
