Tranquiliser

I'm sitting in a room alone

And I'm looking at a screen

Staring with the sound turned down

In my adolescent dream

Look into my zombie eyes

There's nothing there to see

A glazed over reflection and it's staring back at me

I could go meet a friend

Just like I've always done before

But my friends have gone away

And they don't call me any more

I'm sitting by a telephone that never seems to ring

And the television full of people

Not saying anything

I'm gonna take a tranquiliser

And just another tranquiliser

I lost my mind, I lost my voice

Because I'm hypnotised by too much choice

I'd do a little shopping

But the shops have all closed down

Now I could be anywhere

In any other town

Look into my zombie eyes

There's nothing there to see

A glazed over reflection

And it's staring back at me

I could go see a movie

But the remakes are a bore

They're re-doing all the 80s

And we've all been there before

I'm gonna take a tranquiliser

And just another tranquiliser

I lost my mind I lost my voice

Because I'm hypnotised by too much choice
