check your pulse

its proof that you’re not listening to

the call your life’s been issuing you

the rhythm of the line of idle days



scared of the world outside you should go explore

pull all the shades and wander the great indoors



lamplight makes the shadows play

and posters take the walls away

the TV is a window pane

the view wont let you down



so put your faith in a late night show

I bet you didn’t even know

depends on how far out you go

The channel numbers change



scared of the world outside you should go explore

pull all the shades and wander the great indoors



though lately I can't blame you

I have seen the world

And sometimes wish your room had room for two



so go unlock the door

and find what you are here for

the great indoors

leave the great indoors



check your pulse

its proof that you’re not listening to

the call your life’s been issuing you

the rhythm of the line of idle days
