Video - Ben Folds Five
Barren stares as they
light up the screen
Bearing teardrops that
shatter in slow motion
No vocaine our brains and
we're out like lights
But as I'm growing older I'm bored
I remember when misery
thrilled me much more
When I can't relax
And I'd like to go back
But that's gone

Yeah that's gone Turn around
Turn the volume down
We're counting the days down
Till the day when we
live in a video
I'll be stone faced and pale
You'll pout in stereo
24 hours every day of the year
Oh what fun I can't wait 'til
the future gets here

Closing in on the pain
and the torture
He's slamming the doors like
it's something to strive for
The girl tearing the curtains
down looks funny as hell
And of sense of humor can
there be any doubt
But that natural selection has
weeded it out
Used to keep me from
laughing out loud
But that's gone
We don't think that way no more
That's gone turn around
turn the volume down
We're counting the days down
Till the day when we
live in a video
I'll be stone faced and pale
You'll pout in stereo
24 hours every day of the year
Oh what fun I can't wait 'til
the future gets here

I've seen some old friends
sort of die
Or just turn into whatever
Must've been inside them
And whatever all of us
had then in common
Grew up and left home
We don't think that way no more
Turn around turn the volume down
We're counting the days down
Till the day when we
live in a video
I'll be stone faced and pale
You'll pout in stereo
24 hours every day of the year
Oh what fun I can't wait 'til
the future gets here
