I open up one eye and I can see
A million T.V. screens from wall to wall

And as I look again it seems to me
My picture is projected on them all.


From far away I see my body now
I can follow every movement that I make
But I can't remember where I am or how,

Or wether I am dreaming or awake.

Refrain:

Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round,
I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound.
For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem,

I'm only a picture on a video screen.
And sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down,
Fear and confusion are all around;

I know that the problems
And the nightmares that I dream
Are only pictures on a video screen.


And as I rise to get myself another drink,
It seems like I'm some distance from my brain.

I'm looking down and I begin to think
This must be what it's like to go insane.


[Refrain] And sooner or later, ...

Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round,

I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound.
For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem,
I'm only a picture on a video screen.
