watch your face

i don't know how i wound up in the shape i'm in
i'm not sure just what i've done or where i've been
i can't find any other guests
in this hotel
and i can't rest
i'm flipping through the channels once again

you may be the sweetest girl i've ever seen
i'm feeling bad and you just might be my vaccine
and while i don't quite understand
the words you say
i think i can
if i stay patient and keep you on the screen

i hold the clicker in the air
but i find that i can only stare
could you speak just one word of english/anglais, s'il vous plait?
i'm so lonesome i could cry
oh man, i think i'm gonna die
but while i do i think i'll watch your face

my guidebook said this trip would be ideal
but i've been having trouble seeing the appeal
your luminescent cathode glow
gives me some peace
but i don't know
if that's good or if it makes things more surreal

i hold the clicker in the air
but i find that i can only stare
could you speak just one word of english/anglais, s'il vous plait?
i'm so lonesome i could cry
oh man, i think i'm gonna die
but while i do i think i'll watch your face

i don't know what your name is
i don't know what your game is
you don't speak my language
but you understand my anguish

i feel so much better having you around
even though you're just a picture and a sound
i might not make it through the night
but thanks to you
i feel alright
and if i could take my eyes off you i'd go lie down

end.
