Lyrics 20.000 Nights - Einar Stray Orchestra

20.000 Nights

The machinery of a plasma screen and stereo sound
Made the television hostess' eyelids twitch and drown
In tears of joy, cause how she loved to announce
Her favorite band finally on her show playing their own songs
That profound preaching hypnotized me, I admit
Her sudden earnestness made every lightning hit
It stroke me down and left a scorch of hopefulness
That there is still a little glimpse of soul in pop music
Out to plasma screens, in every home the stereo rang
When the band began, strummed their instruments and sang
And you could tell by their charisma they were pros
The jealousy rose in me and I was sold
I see reasons why we stay alive
You see reasons why we are a lie
I see reasons we still have the light
You see reasons why we’re still-life
And when the television hostess goes to sleep
She’ll pray her earnestness will not hurt her career
I hope she’ll understand the meaning of her fear
The influential consequences of her cheer
I see reasons why we stay alive
You see reasons why we are a lie
I see reasons we still have the light
You see reasons why we’re still-life
And when the television hostess is put to ground
I’ll be on television singing on her song
With tears of joy cause, how I’ll love to announce
She was my savior and my youth, sometimes my doubts
