Lyrics for Portable Television - Demo
Portable television shrouded in snow In a raggedy van on the side of the road The night it had frozen through my little bones So you took me in your arms You squeezed out the cold Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Up state New York autumn brightly-coloured leaves Though the hills were on fire They burned for you and me And while we were going, we were still like a lie But as sacred as the Bible So we didn't question why Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh They sodded the soil just recently Where the rows of teeth, they grow in fields of infinite green And here laid the father, and here stood the son Where the road meets the horizon for everyone For everyone Portable television take us away From this burden of reflection we've carried today Oh, the generator's running, but there's nothing on the air And the static is a comfort, so we huddled round and stared Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
