Video Lyrics - Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds

Barren stares as they light up the screen 

Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow motion 

Novocaine our brains and we're out like lights 

And as I'm growing older I'm bored 

And 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 

'Til the day when we'll live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale you'll pout in stereo 

Twenty four hours every day of the year 

Now what fun, I can't wait 'til the future gets here 

Closing in on the pain and the torture 

He's slamming the door like it's something to strive for 

The girl tearing curtains down, looks funny as hell 

And of sense of humor can there be any doubt 

Yeah well natural selection has weeded it out? 

Just 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 

'Til the day when we'll live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale, you'll pout in stereo 

Twenty four hours every day of the year 

Now what fun, I can't wait 'til the future gets here 

Well I've seen some old friends sort of die 

Or just turn into whatever must have 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 

'Til the day when we'll live in a video 

I'll be stone faced and pale, you'll pout in stereo 

Twenty four hours every day of the year 

Now what fun, I can't wait 'til the future gets here
