The picture's clear but it's going black
And you're not always sure you are on the right track
You gave a little bit and they took a lot

Of your sense of self and your private thoughts

Oh, how very strange

We cannot look away
And nothing you could say
Would ever make us go away


The picture's clear but it's going black
And your favorite song's still the hidden track

You gave a little bit and they took a lot
Of your quietude and your unsaid thoughts


Oh, how very strange
We cannot look away
And nothing you could say

Would ever make us go away

The picture's clear but it's going black

When you're out at sea floating on your back
You gave a little bit and they took a lot
Of your precious time and your favorite spots


Oh, how very strange
We cannot look away

We cannot look away
We cannot look away
