Turn off the news, won't you please

Say something, put my mind at ease

Tell me lies, I don't care

Tell me what you think I need to hear

Inside my head there is a fuse

It is soon to burn 'cause I cannot choose

The things I see, they stick to me

Linger on my eyelids as I sleep

So I don't want to fall in to the night

So won't you stay until the morning sunlight

Awakes to tie my shadow to the ground

So I don't have to bother, bother, bother, bother

I used to run down every hill

Now I chase a shadow of that thrill

Another night is soon to come

And I don't want to fall, I want to run

But it is flooding in my veins

And it is getting crowded in my brain

Come feel my heart, I think it's stopped

Won't you care to aim and have a shot?

'Cause I don't want to fall into the night

So won't you stay until the morning sunlight

Awakes to tie my shadow to the ground

So I don't have to bother, bother, bother, bother

No, you don't have to follow

Follow me, follow me, follow me down

To where the water come to me, carry me

Run to the sea to where the colors

Silently call on me, carry me down

To where the water run to me

Silently carry me down

Turn off the news, won't you please

Say something, put my mind at ease

The things I see, they stick to me

Linger on my eyelids as I sleep
