Pictures On A Video Screen

I open up one eye and I can see A million TV screens from wall to wall And as I look again it seems to me, My picture is projected on them all From far away I see my body now I can follow every movement that I make But I can't remember where I am or how, Or whether I am dreaming or awake Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem, I'm only a picture on a video screen And sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down, Fear and confusion are all around; I know that the problems, And the nightmares that I dream Are only pictures on a video screen And as I rise to get myself another drink, It seems like I'm some distance from my brain I'm looking down and I begin to think, This must be what it's like to go insane Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem, I'm only a picture on a video screen And sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down, Fear and confusion are all around; I know that the problems, And the nightmares that I dream Are only pictures on a video screen Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem, I'm only a picture on a video screen --- Pictures on a Video Screen - Katie Melua
