Newsreel Babies

Venetian blinds are crackling
I like the noise
It's got texture
Hit it again when I'm mad
Close it again when I'm sad

With the door closed I'm a king
No questions
No answers
Don't like talking without reason
What's the use if you stop feeling

All alone I'm cynical to the TV
Newsman's making passes to newslady
Camera stops
Newsreel babies

I like to close all the doors
Make it dark
Make it cool
Come in and talk
Whatever you like
I don't mind if it's something new
