There's a child and she's waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we're pretending that we never see
On a tv mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you
Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another's child bleeds Praying that God won't demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need
On a tv mounted on the wall
Better not think about it Anytime we'll start to doubt it
It's not that we lack the vision Only just a quick desision Who will blame us, rules restrain us
So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams
On a tv mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you Watching you, watching you, watching you Watching you fall yeah yeah
