Sometimes I want to get away
But I don't have the time today
Life's a game
Not all fun
There's aways things to be done
Maybe I'll just turn it on
Just to see what's going on
Just an hour maybe two
Suddenly the day is through
In television land
In television land
In a world of audio, video, and remote control
Moving at the speed of light
But we never seem to really go
And I really don't mind, I really don't mind
Everything you say
But lately I find, lately I find
I'm throwing time away
And I don't know what to do
It seems I'm stuck in a rut over you
The hands of time spinning fast
I'm sitting here watching days turn to past
It's a fact if it's on TV
If you only believe in what you can see
But there's a lot more going on
Than what a satellite can show to me
And I really don't mind, no I really don't mind
All you have to say
But lately I find, lately I find
I'm throwing time away
And I don't know what to do
It seems I'm stuck in a rut over you
The hands of time spinning fast
Spinning fast
Fast
And I don't know what to do
It seems I'm stuck in a rut over you
The hands of time spinning fast
It's turning the days into past
There is nothing I can say
There is nothing I can do
The choice was mine and I know that I made it
I chose you
But now I'm trying to see
Just what it's done to me
Throw the scales from my eyes and rise above
Set me free
There are a million things that I could do today
Then to sit and watch the hours pass away
I want to dance with that blonde haired girl
Or hold her hand all across the world
And get away
From television land
I want to buy a 12-string guitar
And jingle jangle all across the stars
Or maybe drive my car
To the sand
There are a million things that I could do today
Then to sit and watch the hours pass away
I want to read the Good Book today
I hear that it's better than the movie anyway
And maybe I
Can wake my sleeping soul
I want to go outside and play
To feel how the sun can warm me today
It's not the same
When you see it in the shows
There are a million things that I can do today
Then to sit and watch the time
Pass away
I've taken everything from you
You've never given me anything true
I've taken everything from you
You've never given me anything true
I've taken everything from you
You've never given me anything true
I've taken everything from you
You've never given me anything true
