Flicker television
Like something that is breathing
I'm dead in bubblegum
And wishing you were here
You're where the rain doesn't pour
It just floods down
In the places where the insects die
but In the blinking of an eye
we'll be switching on/off

Watching all the ash fall
Well it's just like cigarette snow
And when I'm stoned
I'm missing you my dear
And the light is telling me that I'm alive
And you know that we'll be
Switching on/off

Flicker television
Like something that is breathing
I'm dead in bubblegum
And wishing you were here
You're where the rain doesn't pour
It just floods down
In the places where the insects die

Watching all the ash fall
Well it's just like cigarette snow
And when I'm stoned
I'm missing you my dear
And the light is telling me that I'm alive
And you know that we'll be
Switching on/off

I couldn't believe what I was seeing
Faces all screwed up like what I'd done
I didn't mean to hurt you so much

I knew it would hurt you but not like this
We all make a mess from time to time dear
But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
Somebody muttered something under their breath
But I let on like I was a little deaf

Nobody's perfect that's what I say
No one has hurt me so much you say
I'm sorry

Running away seemed like the easy
Thing to do because I wanted time
To put a smile back on my dear face
For once nothing's missing and I feel fine
I was afraid to tell you some things

But some things all find a way to get told
Hearing it from the lips of somebody else
Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest

Nobody's perfect that's what I say
No one has hurt me so much you say
I'm sorry

Nobody's perfect that's what I say
No one has hurt me so much you say
I'm sorry
