I went to the west coast to get some ideas

and I got inspired to run right back here

they said I could become star if I tried

a future so bright that it blinded my eyes

when you see, the silver screen

or the pages of magazines

hear the humming of your TV

promise you’ll still talk to me

some people don’t change when time makes them old

these people are worth their whole weight in gold

‘cause everyone else becomes shallow and rude

promise you won’t let that happen to you

when you see, the silver screen

or the pages of magazines

hear the humming of your TV

promise you’ll still be with me

I’m playing with fires won’t let them burn out

maybe I want the whole world to burn down

this ain’t the place that I thought it would be

it changes everything but it won’t change me

when you see, the silver screen

or the pages of magazines

hear the humming of your TV

promise you’ll still be with

when you see, the silver screen

or the pages of magazines

hear the humming of your TV

promise you’ll still be with me
