Idiot Box

(albüm: Music For Pleasure - 1977)

I can turn you off
Well I just tried and left you off
Tom Verlaine you maybe are
But you sure ain't a rock'n'roll

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is a marquee moon

Billy Ficca don't waste my time
Just turning on to What's My Line
Preacher boy you're here this night
You should have road the golden stars

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is a marquee moon

Old Fred Smith works for the box
Oh what a haggard face
Hope he gets a lot of shocks
From his Fender bass

People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic I'll come back soon
'Cause all we got is a marquee moon
