"Tranquiliser" lyrics

"Tranquiliser"

I'm sitting in a room alone
And I'm looking at a screen
Staring with the sound turned down
In my adolescent dream

Look into my zombie eyes
There's nothing there to see
A glazed over reflection and it's staring back at me

I could go meet a friend
Just like I've always done before
But my friends have gone away
And they don't call me any more
I'm sitting by a telephone that never seems to ring
And the television full of people
Not saying anything

I'm gonna take a tranquiliser
And just another tranquiliser
I lost my mind, I lost my voice
Because I'm hypnotised by too much choice

I'd do a little shopping
But the shops have all closed down
Now I could be anywhere
In any other town

Look into my zombie eyes
There's nothing there to see
A glazed over reflection
And it's staring back at me

I could go see a movie
But the remakes are a bore
They're re-doing all the 80s
And we've all been there before

I'm gonna take a tranquiliser
And just another tranquiliser
I lost my mind I lost my voice
Because I'm hypnotised by too much choice
