Video Lyrics - Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five

Barren stares as they light up the screen 

Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow motion 

Novocaine our brains and we're out like lights 

But as I'm growing older I'm bored 

I remember when misery thrilled me much more 

When I can't relax 

And I'd like to go back 

But that's gone 

Yeah, that's gone, turn around 

Turn the volume down 

We're counting the days down 

Till the day when we live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale 

You'll pout in stereo 

24 hours every day of the year 

Oh, what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here 

Closing in on the pain and the torture 

He's slamming the doors like it's something to strive for 

The girl tearing the curtains down, looks funny as Hell 

And of sense of humor, can there be any doubt 

Yeah well that natural selection has weeded it out 

Used to keep me from laughing out loud 

But that's gone 

We don't think that way no more 

That's gone, turn around, turn the volume down 

We're counting the days down 

Till the day when we live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale 

You'll pout in stereo 

24 hours every day of the year 

Oh, what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here 

I've seen some old friends sort of die 

Or just turn into whatever 

Must've been inside them 

And whatever all of us had then in common 

Grew up and left home 

We don't think that way no more 

Turn around, turn the volume down 

We're counting the days down 

Till the day when we live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale 

You'll pout in stereo 

24 hours every day of the year 

Oh, what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here
