I've been shaking hands with shaking hands
And I've been told that I don't stand a chance
The mirror tells me all I need to know
I've got a broken down machinery and now it starts to show

I need a television night
With nothing on my mind
I need 10 hours with remote control
I need 10 hours doing nothing at all
I need a television night

I lick my wounds alone and out of sight
So I will stay inside my house tonight
I'm gonna lock the door I won't pick up the phone
I've bought a one way ticket back and now I have to go alone

I need a television night
With nothing on my mind
I need 10 hours doing nothing at all
I need 48 channels to heal my soul
I need a television night...

I lick my wounds alone and out of sight
So I will stay inside my house tonight
I'm gonna lock the door I won't pick up the phone
I've bought a one way ticket back and now I have to go alone

I need a television night...
