The picture's clear but it's going black
And you're not always sure you are on the right track
You gave a little bit and they took a lot 
Of your sense of self and your private thoughts

Oh, how very strange
We cannot look away
And nothing you could say
Would ever make us go away

The picture's clear but it's going black
And your favorite song's still the hidden track
You gave a little bit and they took a lot 
Of your quietude and your unsaid thoughts

Oh, how very strange
We cannot look away
And nothing you could say
Would ever make us go away

The picture's clear but it's going black
When you're out at sea floating on your back
You gave a little bit and they took a lot 
Of your precious time and your favorite spots

Oh, how very strange
We cannot look away
We cannot look away
We cannot look away
