Lyrics
Barren stares as they light up the screen
Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow-motion
Novocaine our brains and we're out like lights
And 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
'Til the day when we'll 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 door like it's something to strive for
The girl tearing curtains down looks funny as hell
And of sense of humor, can there be any doubt?
Yeah, well, natural selection just 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
'Til the day when we'll 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
Well, I've seen some old friends sorta die
Or just turn into whatever must've been inside them
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
'Til the day when we'll 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
