I Should Watch Tv Lyrics - Love This Giant - David Byrne & St. Vincent

I used to think that I should watch TV 

I used to think that it was good for me 

Wanted to know what folks were thinking 

To understand the land I live in 

And I would lose myself, and it would set me free 

This is the place where common people go 

A global franchise, one department store 

Yes, there were many awkward moments 

I had to do some self-atonement 

Well if I opened up, well it would set me free 

I know, I like 

Behold and love this giant 

Big soul, big lips 

That's me and I am this 

Everybody is a touched-up hairdo 

Everybody's in the passing lane 

Aberration makes you touch dark shadows 

The weird things that live in there 

I took a walk down to the park today 

I wrote a song called "Just Like You and Me" 

I heard the jokes from the sports reporter 

The rival teams when they faced each other 

The more I lost myself the more it set me free 

How am I not your brother? 

How are you not like me? 

Everybody's in the hotel lobby 

I'm living in here, yes I am 

I feel it moving in my arms and fingers 

Touch me and feel like me 

It's good to lose and it's good to win sometimes 

It's good to die and it's good to be alive 

Maybe someday we can stand together 

Not afraid of what our eyes might see 

Maybe someday I'll understand them better, 

The weird things inside of me.
