Portable Television |
Portable television, shrouded in snow |
In a raggedy van on the side of the road |
The night it had frozen through my little bones |
So, you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold |
And oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves |
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me |
And where we were going, it was built like a lie |
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn’t question why |
And oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
I saw it in the soil just recently |
Where the rows of teeth, they grow in fields of infinite greed |
And here laid the father, and here stood the son |
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone |
For everyone |
Portable television, take us away |
From this burden of reflection we’ve carried today |
Oh, the generator’s running but there’s nothing on the air |
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare |
And oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
