Eye on the TV 'cuz tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like:
"Killed by the husband..."
"Drowned by the ocean..."
"Shot by his own son..."
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then kissed him goodbye".
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies.

Don't look at me like I am a monster.
Frown out your one face but with the other
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother
Holds her child. Watches him die.
Hands to the sky cryin', "Why, oh why?"

'Cuz I need to watch things die, from a distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all need it too, don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold nor brightest of stories told,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.

I need to watch things die, from a good safe distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground.

Part Vampire, part Warrior,
Carnivore, and Voyeur,
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle
La la la la la la la lie...
La la la la la la la lie...
La la la la la la la lie...
La la la la la la la lie...

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.

The universe is hostile. So impersonal.
Devour to survive. So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies.
Much better you than I.
