lyrics

why is there no music when we kiss
why's there no canned laughter when I reach for you and miss
the less I know the more I see
I just don't know how I should be
we were raised on television you and me

I have seen the world through gamma rays
the lonely Himalayas though I never left this place
the less I know the more I see
I just don't know how I should be
we were raised on television you and me

for everyone I know
it was just the same
so many faces
we never knew their real life names

I remember when they used to say
you shouldn't stay indoors it's such a beautiful day
the less I know the more I see
I just don't know what's wrong with me
we were raised on television you and me

television television
television television
television television
