tv land

words ) Tom Smith 1998

In the magic world on the other side
of the TV screen
The shy, sensitive guy always
wins over the teen screen dream
The one you've been rooting for always
gets it right in the end
Real life doesn't work like that
I don't even know who the good guys are

So I sit at home watching the TV
And wishing that something like that would happen to me
Even though I know
It's only make believe
These four walls are closing me in and I can't win

And this is my life

Where are all the beautiful people
they promised me
What happened to the happy endings and the
gleaming city
I wanna get to the promised land where the
loose ends all tie up and
Everybody knows your name;
I want someone to notice me

But I sit...

And this is my life

On the outside looking in
kept out by an invisible screen
Whatever's happening
it doesn't include me, cos I'm
Not one of the perfect ones
inside the hallowed circle; I
Live my own life, in my own world
in my own room, on my own

And I sit...

And this is my life
