Black And White Television lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: Ian Anderson: Walk Into Light
Lyrics
I looked in the mirror then Saw my face in a dream With eyes sharp as diamonds Blessed with clear vision Things were not as they seemed Black and white television Stared back from the wall Is that my life? Am I here at all?
Down in the high road, see Motor cavalcades glide Past shopwindow dressers Desperately covering All the parts they can hide Black and white television Stares at me again Is that their lives? Even dummies pretend
The truth is so hard to deny The answer is here The screen never lies
Black and white television It's the right television Show me it's all a dream tonight
The boys on the corner sulk In their suzuki haze In primary colours (Each year more startling) But they still fade to grey On black and white television It's sweeping the land Is that your life? Do you understand?
The truth is so hard to deny The answer is here The screen never lies
Black and white television Back the right television Black and white television Hard to fight television Show me it's all a dream tonight
