Rent Strike - Radio Silence

I fell asleep with the television on
I know my mind
And how it loves to run
And I thought that I might try to nip it in the bud

See, I was freaking out at the party downstairs
I was speaking in tongues
And I was pulling out my hair
I was wailing 'bout the worst that's yet to come

And they said:
"Maybe Radio Silence would do you some good tonight."

But I don't know why
When every time I try it, it just feels wrong
And I can't fall asleep without the television on

So, I was half awake and I was having a dream
Fed direct to my head via satellite beam
Oh, it feels so real, but it's too far to touch

And when I was standing in your line
I swear it was almost like I could look you in the eye
If the back and forth would ever stop

And I could take a seat in the silence
It might do us some good tonight

But I don't know why
Or what it means that we've forgotten
How to sleep, and how to dream without the television on

I fell asleep with a phone in my hand
I was all alone, and I was feeling pretty bad
It's like nothing I can do will ever be enough

Oh, and every day I'm feeling more and more
Like I'm stuck in the stands of a spectator sport
Like there's no point now, and there never ever was

So, how can I spit, and how can I sing
If I don't believe in anything?
And the television is always on, I need:

Radio Silence
Give me Radio Silence
I need Radio Silence
Give me Radio

Silence
