TV ON THE RADIO lyrics : "Dancing Choose"

He's a what?
He's a what?
He's a newspaper man

And he gets his best ideas
From a newspaper stand;
From his boots to his pants

To his comments and his rants
He knows that any little article will do!


Though he expresses some confusion
'Bout his part in the plan,
And he can't understand

That he's not in command;
The decisions underwritten
By the cash in his hand

Bought a sweater for
His weimariner too


Now I'm no mad man,
But that's insanity
Feast before famine,

And more before family
Goes and shows up with
More bowls and more

Cups and the riot for the
Last hot meal erupts
Corrupts his hard drive

Through the leanest months
Shells out the hard cash
For the sickest stunts;

On aftershave, on gasoline
He flips the page and turns
The scene


In my mind I'm drowning butterflies
Broken dreams and alibis;

That's fine.
I've seen my palette blown
To monochrome-

Hollow heart
Clicks hollowtone,
It's time.


Eye on authority,
Thumb prints a forgery

Boy, ain't it crazy what the
Lights can do
For counterfeit community;

Every opportunity
Wasted as the space
Between the flash tattoo


And the half-hearted hologram,
Posed for the party

Now he gloss full bleed
On a deaf dumb tree
Cod liver dollar signs,

Credit card autograph
Down for the record
But not for freedom


Angry young mannequin
American, apparently

Still to the rhythm
Better get to the back of me
Can't stand the vision,

Better tongue the anatomy
Gold plated overhead,
Blank transparency

In the days of old,
You were a nut
Now you need three bumps

Before you cut
Not that I should care about,
Nothing I ain't scared of, but

I guess you had to be there.

In my mind I'm breeding butterflies,
Broken dreams, and alibis
That's fine.

I've seen my palette
Blown to monochrome
Hollow heart
Clicks hollowtone
In time.


I see you figured in your action pose
Foam-injected axl rose,
Life size
Should something shake you

And you drop the news,
Lord, just keep your dancing shoes
Off mine
