Television Glow from Good Manners by Clavicle

when the meds kick in
and the lights low
collapse on the couch
and try to watch your show

the glow comforts you
like a nervous friend
who looks you in the eye
and she holds your hand

I'm tired of the day to day
and all the things that strangers say
I can't keep going on this way
its killing me its killing me
good manners don't cost a thing
so why do you hate everything
all the hate that fills our screens
I guess it makes for good tv

touching toes
cause we both know
a shower can clean
almost everything

breathe in the mold
of our apartment
looking for monsters
in electrical sockets

I'm tired of the day to day
and all the things that strangers say
I can't keep going on this way
its killing me its killing me
good manners don't cost a thing
so why do you hate everything
all the hate that fills our screens
I guess it makes for good tv
money gets you pretty far
and no one cares if you work hard
so grease some palms
and make new friends
and work towards all your average plans
I want someone to hold my hand
say its alright I understand
I now how hard your job can be
I love you more than I love me


suck your spit and fall asleep
find some pocket lint to eat
feed the flesh and feel alright
pace the streets another night

Roger Waters had it right
Good Manners don't cost a dime
so lets go and have a few
talk through all that you've been through
