Timothy Cameron: Noises
Video Video
(from the album "...every cloud has a sulphur lining...")
Video, video, and its alluring haunted glow
I'd like to outgrow video
They'll be right back, don't touch that dial
Too much is riding on their, too perfect hair and smiles
Big stakes in this medium
That's far from rare but never well done
As content loses out to style
Video video and its alluring haunted glow
I'd like to outgrow video
Couch voyeurism only leads
To useless ad campaigns for some crap that no one needs
A talking head without a flaw and
The weather girl's a Barbie doll and
The guy on sports is high on speed
Video video and its alluring haunted glow
I'd like to outgrow video
There in the corner blinks the drug
The fix is never ending, and no one pulls the plug
Nothing much on any station
It's all been done in syndication
I'd rather sit and watch the rug
Video video and its alluring haunted glow
Like a plug in gigolo selling status quo
I'd like to outgrow video
Video...video...video
