Lyrics
The man next to me was strange
He sits on the bench every day
That square dancin' fool
He tries too hard
Middle of the road and lost
The pan is cool but it starts the fire
He could've had her
But first place is still for hire
(Chorus)
Let the television music take you away
Let them bring you down or make you stay
Let the television music take you away
Born with a British accent
Is that why he's ugly?
No time for lament
Its a new life for me
He does the tribal dance
With his teeth on point
But he can't stand the pain
No he can't stand the pain much longer
(Chorus)
Let the television music take you away
Let them bring you down or make you stay
Let the television music take you away
(Bridge)
Can't handle it
Put it all away
Doors open to save me
Join the party
Why pay more?
You're best in show
Don't you believe it?
Can't You Believe it?
We're in Vice City baby
Gotta do this right
He's got to have a chance to live
A chance to fight
(Chorus)
Let the television music take you away
Let them bring you down or make you stay
Let the television music take you away
