Eye on the the TV,
'Cause 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 till 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 crying,
"Why, oh why?"

Cause 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
Will write as the story's 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! (x4)

Credulous at best,
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out.
Your head--make reason 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.
