"Spotlight Television" lyrics

Reeling, I know it's new
I wish I could speed it up for you
So we don't lose face and we hold our nerve
Get the love that we deserve

Won't let the signal die
Keep calling in the blackout
I won't let the line go dead

If we're in the spotlight, television
Show me how to drown it out
And we could talk to anybody
What you wanna talk about?

Hold my hand by the Storehouse gate
Watch the driver hit the breaks
He's pumping blood with his pious heart
"Fuck off" spit from his old red car

But don't let him turn us 'round
Keep walking I'm beside you
No, don't let him turn us 'round

If we're in the spotlight, television
Show me how to drown it out
And we could talk to anybody
What you wanna talk about?
Spotlight, television
Show me how to drown it out
And we could talk to anybody
What you wanna talk about?

Why've we gotta worry 'bout the neighbours, baby
They don't give a shit about us
And I got good at faking it
But I don't wanna get that good
And I got stage fright coming home
'Cause I was way too tired to be myself
But I'll keep getting smaller for you
Anything that I can do to help them sleep well

Spotlight, television
Show me how to drown it out
And we could talk to anybody
What you wanna talk about?
Spotlight, television
Show me how to drown it out
And we could talk to anybody
What you wanna talk about?
