Sitting there holed up
in a room so warm, so soft
curled up
with the window shut
Being safe, being lost
News cast convinced
Watching others take risks
Your life is boring
and I'm convinced
you need my pity
You have to open the window
to see the real world
you have to step on your shadow
to walk in the sun
You have to let go of your pillow
to have real fun
Vicarious is a disease my friend
you live through a television set
You'll regret life's passing in the end
