Cathode Ray Clinic Lyrics

I sit in front of this TV
And I can feel it swallow me
Dull my brain and steal my soul
Seduce me til my heart is cold
You can watch a student die
Or a plane fall from the sky
In a thousand dollar dress
Are glamour girls with plastic breasts
See our cripples, blind and deaf
With your money make them blessed
Let us show them that you care
You only see them once a year

God is here, He talks to me
And through the man whose tears preach
Show me something I can buy
So God will keep me high and dry

Is it real, I don't know
Turn it off, where do they go?
Is it real, can you tell
Apparitions hot from hell

Black Rock me girls on video
Dance sex with me on tipi toe
Beauty without tenderness
And they ridicule in a tiny dress
Only seven miles away
Lie victims of that black brigade
Three boys are shot and one is dead
As I stretch out on my bed

God is here, He talks to me
And through the man whose tears preach
Show me something I can buy
So God will keep me high and dry

Is it real, I don't know
Turn it off, where do they go?
Is it real, can you tell
Apparitions hot from hell

They're dying, dying in my room
They're laughing and they're dancing too
Crying, lost everything they own
And smiling on big Bob's game show
I'll go for the car, Bob, I'll go for the car
I want the car, Bob, I want the car

Behind the glass, inside the light
What is on the box tonight?

Is it real, I don't know
Turn it off, where do they go?
Is it real, can you tell
Apparitions hot from hell

I'm attending every day
The clinic of the cathode ray
