Telestrips lyrics

You were a shape-shifting terror Chasing time 'round the talking table Through plastic walls, the abstract world Coasting on high as the royal curious one As if it could be more obscene You willed yourself inside the screen History, fantasy Falling around the child Glorious lunacy Kaleidoscopic cries Misery, sympathy Tarry or stand aside! Televised ecstasy Color across our eyes! You were a strange interference Twisting up frowns as the morals crumbled They switched the dials to slow you down Youth's prism dashed, you recalled reality's wall And grew up fast, a libertine Some harmless trysts, no lesson gleaned History, fantasy Falling around the child Glorious lunacy Kaleidoscopic cries Misery, sympathy Tarry or stand aside! Televised ecstasy Color across our eyes!
