Vicarious by TooL

Spoiler for Long song.:

Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor, it happens to be, like
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used a poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kinda story
It's no fun till someone dies.

Don't look at me like, I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other
Stare like a junkie, into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches it die
Hands to the sky crying
"Why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it to, don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause till the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Nor brightest of stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die
From a good, safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?

...


Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground.

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore
And
Voyeur
Stare at the
Transmittal
Sing to the
Death
Rattle
La la la la la la la lie
La la la la la la la lie
La la la la la la la lie
La la la la la la la lie

...


Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippie haze
Give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is
So it's always been.

We all feed
On tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than
I.
