Its dark outside - I think I'll stay at home today
I'll draw my blinds and make the real world go away
I'll stop inside and watch T.V.
You know there's lots of things to see
I'm all alone - there's no one in the house but me
And here I'll stay - by the light of my T.V.
I think I'll be awake all night
Watching things that aren't quite right
You're alive, you're alive
You're alive, you're alive
The flickering light seems so wonderful to me
I want to be just like those people on T.V.
Their lives are always shiny bright
I wish that I was one tonight
You're alive, you're alive
You're alive, you're alive
This much I know - even though I'm not always sure.
I see the scenes on the T.V. screens but I want more
And I know that I'll go on holding on to life
Even though it hurts me so and one day it will die
I'm so alone - I've tried to be what I can't be
I've seen the light and now I know that dreams are free
I want to be tuned in today
Seeing the colours run away
