Woke up I was mentally unbalanced
Out on the street I’m a hero in my own time
Playing shortstop with the traffic
Accident on my mind
My status unclear, so let the public decide just
Where did I go wrong
One more broken-down dream
Half -remembered mistake
Another discarded toy
Such a sad circumstance
Long past the moment of truth
Past the moment of trove
With that look on your face
You say you're out on your own
Refused to believe no
Mannequins choose their clothes
So casual with the cash-flow
You're always friend-in-need
But the system breaks down
When you're down on your knees
So sign your life away
You can't afford protection
Prepaid apology
Been talking to yourself
So sick of what you've found
I said one more chance
Give me just one more chance
Back in your flat
No eyewitness to your exile
But it's a miscalculation
Tied to internal injury
We don’t expect to hear you
You're on permanent hold
Diplomacy's been replaced
You finally sold your soul
So don't tell me any more lies
I finally say to myself
What's the use in trying
I'll take the next train out
Kick the door shut behind you
You better find a way out
You ought to be on the run
Where did I go wrong
One more broken-down dream
Half-remembered mistake
Another discarded toy
Such a sad circumstance
You told me not a chance
You said not a chance

Television Rules
The other day when I got home
There were strangers in my room
They make me want what I don't want
They make me wish I had it all
Television rules
And look what they got
Feature stories of celebrity romance
Is that what I want
The frustrations that follow me everywhere I go
Is based on another artificial world
Another true-to-life show
Television rules
Feature stories of celebrity romance
Is that what I want
And when I start thinking that it's not so bad
You remind me
The promises I made in outerspace
All parachuted down behind me
And look what they got
Feature stories of celebrity romance
Is that what I want
Don't make me live by your television rules
Now I don’t look at your picture
When ‘m talking on the phone
Now I don't really mean what I say
When I say I'd rather be alone
Television rules
