News At 9

Don't call me home again I know the dam is gone And don't call me son Don't pretend to know the damage done See, my pulse is stepping out of time Feel how cold my breath is, is it even mine? Will I be old and dead Or young and lying on the news at nine? There was a time when I'd known What love had meant to me On the kitchen wall, in the lines where I'd grown Now it seems nothing's meant to be See, my pulse is stepping out of time Feel how cold my breath is, is it even mine? Will I be old and dead Or young and lying on the news at nine? But I tried, I know I did But I can't do it again Turn on the TV now, I mean what I meant See me on the news at nine Don't call me home again I know the dam is gone And don't call me son Don't pretend to know the damage done
