You know every show on the TV set
It’s a crazy world, that’s true
But I don’t know what’s gotten into you

You read that TV Guide
Like you’re reading the Bible
Darling, put that magazine down
You’re liable to hurt someone with your distraction

Would you love me more if I had rabbit ears
So I could play back each and every
Drunken episode of “Cheers”
“Where everybody knows your name”
Meanwhile I’m searching for your brain

Because you lost it somewhere beneath the couch cushions
Better find it before it turns to gray matter mush’ins

I, I’ve got a name for you: TV eyes
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Linda Manichewitz
Listen to me, turn off the TV set
I’m a hit on the radio
But you’re too busy watching your “90210”

I ain’t begging for passion
But I’m finding it hard just to get a reaction
Had to take your pulse last night
Cause you looked dead to me in the blue glow of TV light

You lay so peaceful then, I knew I couldn’t hide
The love and hate that long ago made you my bride
But what a beautiful cadaver you could be
I’d be so happy if I died -- If I died with you by my side

I, I’ve got a name for you
About your affliction, it has everything to do
Cause you’re a real live specimen in a crazy mass-media zoo
But I’d go mad without you

TV eyes
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
TV eyes
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
TV eyes
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful eyes
