Lyrics

Italic Dream
When Science fiction TV keeps me under wraps
And all I do is wonder how they get those abs
When gravity?s fixation gets the best of me
And I don?t know what to do with myself
And everything?s for someone else
I call the operator she says she isn?t there
It?s our imagination, (she said)
connects us through the air
I?m doing what I can with myself
yet everything?s for someone else
It?s all for someone else
in the day as we unfold
It's all for someone else
in the night as we grow cold
It's all for some one else
all for someone else
I slip into the bedroom to try some new romance
In here I can be someone
if given half a chance
I creep into the kitchen, I?m contemplating man
I?m doing what I can to myself
Still everything?s for someone else
It?s all for someone else
in the day as we unfold
It's all for someone else
in the night as we grow cold
It's all for some one else
(stop pushing, stop messing around stop kicking me)
all for someone else
When Science fiction TV has me under wraps
And all I do is wonder how they get those abs
I go to the museum to look at the faces
but all I can decipher is hers
all I can decipher is hers
all I can decipher... is hers
It?s all for someone else
in the day as we unfold
It's all for someone else
in the night as we grow cold
It's all for some one else
(stop pushing, stop messing around stop kicking me)
all for someone else
