T.V. Psychology

(album: Captured - 1985)

All communications breaking down
I hit the switch to bring me back around
Tuning in tonight
Every time the picture starts to clear
She smiles at me
Then static interferes
What channel is she on?
And where's it coming from?

TV psychology
Overloading all of my circuitry
Majoring in TV psychology
Isn't working quite the way it should be
Vision is a blur
Transmissions are obscured

Love can be so simple on the screen
I know every girl from every scene
But this one's a season premiere
Visual fixation in my eyes
Watching her, I must be hypnotized
I'm on horizontal hold
Every move remote-controlled

TV psychology
Overloading all of my circuitry
Majoring in TV psychology
Isn't working quite the way it should be
Vision is a blur
Transmissions are obscured
Oh, look out!

And now, stay tuned for...
I do not think you should do the commercial
American Bandstand's 30th anniversary special...
There's the sound of foghorn, Boo Boo
And best of all, Scrub Brusher gets you out of the bathroom...
Right after these words...
Before they get the news...
When I gave up caffeine, I just knew coffee wouldn't be a pleasure anymore

TV psychology
Overloading all of my circuitry
Majoring in TV psychology
Isn't working quite the way it should be

Love is better the second time around
Mmm, flavor

TV psychology
Overloading all of my circuitry
Majoring in TV psychology
Isn't working quite the way it should be
Overloading
Majoring in

Are you sure it's psychological?
Have you watched TV ever since you were a child?
What sort of program?
Hmm, I see
Perhaps a news-related cartoon
(Overloading)
You're crazy, you're loony
Aren't you, man?
Ah, it's just, it's psychological, oh
(Overloading)
Ah, you're insane
Turn the telly off
Where's Stevie? Stevie! What do you think?
I don't know
Hmm, I see
Must be time for my cheer
