Surrounded

Lyrics

Pale[1] white moon shine
Down on Colorado
Hide my dirty secrets
Down here[2] in the shadows
Where the quaking aspens
Tremble in the snow
Haul me up the hillside
Hold me high and let me go[3]

Let me fall right through[4] my own roof like a meteorite
Let the world and all its wonders leave me to my toys tonight
And my ninety-six inch
Television screen
Let me die, let me die
Surrounded by machines

High winds knocked the power out last night
But I've got[5] my own supply here
All my windows blaze with light
And the light spills through the windows
To the empty plain below
Finds[6] nothing but some trees
And six fresh feet of snow

And I find a broadcast station that's signed off for the night
And the static floods the speakers in glorious black and white
On my ninety-six inch television screen
Let me die, let me die
Surrounded by machines
