Turn Off The News Lyrics

Turn off the news, won't you please
Say something, put my mind at ease
Tell me lies, I don't care
Tell me what you think I need to hear

Inside my head there is a fuse
It is soon to burn 'cause I cannot choose
The things I see, they stick to me
Linger on my eyelids as I sleep

So I don't want to fall in to the night
So won't you stay until the morning sunlight
Awakes to tie my shadow to the ground
So I don't have to bother, bother, bother, bother

I used to run down every hill
Now I chase a shadow of that thrill
Another night is soon to come
And I don't want to fall, I want to run

But it is flooding in my veins
And it is getting crowded in my brain
Come feel my heart, I think it's stopped
Won't you care to aim and have a shot?

'Cause I don't want to fall into the night
So won't you stay until the morning sunlight
Awakes to tie my shadow to the ground
So I don't have to bother, bother, bother, bother

No, you don't have to follow
Follow me, follow me, follow me down
To where the water come to me, carry me
Run to the sea to where the colors
Silently call on me, carry me down
To where the water run to me
Silently carry me down

Turn off the news, won't you please
Say something, put my mind at ease
The things I see, they stick to me
Linger on my eyelids as I sleep
