Commercial Breakup

Night so bright - transmission smooth

I take my head and I take my head

And stuff it in the tube

I find something that I can use

But there's no credit where no credit is due

It cost me ten dollars

But in thirty seconds it's so clear

And I adhere - I'm only humanoid

Oh man - they're waving from the street again

"Hey Franzi!", they're calling up to me

"We're living, we're living through the breakup

This is the breakup, commercial breakup

Commercial breakup, here it comes again."

Well just today you told me

You told me 'bout the way it is

I walk on out and make me

A few small purchases

What was that name you called me?

Say, what was that grin you grinned?

An expression so uncertain

That breaks a line so thin?

Well now that 2-D, and that 2-D beckons - the colour is high

It seems so ripe - don't touch the line hold

Something has dropped me in the heat again

"Hey Franzi! What about your symphony?

We're living, we're living through the breakup

This is the breakup, commercial breakup

Commercial breakup, here it comes again"

("Here we go! And the first item up for bids on The Price is Right is a telephone booth!")

C'mon, break it up!

Night so bright - transmission smooth

I take my head and I take my head

And stuff it in the tube

I find something that I can use

But there's no credit where no credit is due

It cost me ten dollars

But the 2D beckons, the colour is high

It seems so right - so alive!

Something has dropped me in the heat again

"Hey Franzi! What about your symphony?

We're living, we're living through the breakup

This is the breakup, commercial breakup."

Oh man - they're waving from the street again

"Hey Franzi!", they're calling up to me

"We're living, we're living through the breakup

This is the breakup, commercial breakup

Commercial breakup, here it comes again."
