Reasons to be cheerful Playing in my head The TV's got me lonely The cable line is dead Can you see me when I call you? Can you hear me on the phone? My s** is sad and lonely My skin feels all alone Reasons to be cheerful Playing in my head The TV's got me lonely The cable line is dead Can you see me when I call you? Can you hear me on the phone? My s** is sad and lonely My skin feels all alone This is how the world ends Not with a bang, but with a whimper This is how the world ends Not with a bang, but with a whimper Just like any 19 year old She says she's gonna be She'll turn on for you Watching color TV Echo's down the hall The man next door has a ball He says he's lonely now And he seems to be And she's always making love on the TV Well she's all dressed up in loneliness Seems that s** is success She says she's gonna be like me But she's always making love on the TV Well she's all dressed up in loneliness Making love on the TV This is how the world ends Not with a bang, but with a whimper This is how the world ends way
