repeat pt2 three times.
I'm looking and I'm dreaming for the first time
And I'm inside and I'm outside at the same time
And everything is real
Do I like the way I feel?
When the world crashes into my living room
Television made me what I am
People like to put the television down but
We are just good friends, I'm a
television man
repeat pt2 two times
I knew a girl she was a macho man
But its alright I wasnt fooled for long
This is the place for me
I'm the king and you're the queen
When the world crashes into my living room
Television made me what I am
People like to put the television down but
We are just good friends, I'm a
television man
Take a walk in the beautiful garden
Everyone would like to say hello
It doesnt matter what you say
Come and take us away
rythm part
solo at end of rythm part

The world crashes in, into my living room
repeat 4 times^
And we are still good friends (television man)
Im watching everything (television man)
Television man (television man)
Im watching everything (television man)
Television Man, and Im gonna say
we are still good friends, and Im trying to be
watching everything, and I gotta say
we are still good friends, you know the way it is
Television man, Ive got what you need
We are still good friends, I know the way you are
Television man, I know what your trying to be
Watching everything, and I gotta say
Thats how the story ends
