Television flickers all thru my nights  Bathing me in its omniscient light  Smothering my brain in its icy drone  It shows me things that I've never known  Beauty queens dance before my eyes  While teenage whores offer their surprise  An endless parade of decadence and sin  Transfixed I smile a hungry grin  Out in the night, out in the rain  There is no love, there is no pain  Only dark skeletons flow in my sight  Only my wraith walks on my right  Sometimes a young girl strays too near  With pretty eyes filled with sex and fear  She'll walk with me and make no sound  While brilliant blood flows to the ground  Television flickers on thru my nights  BUrying me in its omniscient light  Shrouding my brain in cold blue mist  It shows me things that can't exist  Everything around me seems so cold  There are no memories for me to hold  I feel only ice forming in my head  I close my eyes and turn to red  ---------------------------------------------------  -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+  Eric Wincentsen  267@ef.gc.maricopa.edu  Glendale Community College,   Glendale, Arizona   "Give me ten wheels for Jesus!"   -Elvis Hitler  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
