Made-for-TV Movie

Well, it’s 100 degrees up in Hasbrouck Heights
And I’ve been telling myself for the past few nights
The past few nights
Will probably be my last
But there’s something about how the darkness falls
And there’s something about how the same four walls
Yeah the same four walls
They start to get old so fast
And there’s a made-for-TV movie
All night it’s been flickering on my screen
Some kind of made-for-TV movie
You know I’ve probably already seen
It’s all part of the same routine
They can say that they will man, I’ve paid my dues
I can get out of bed any hour I choose
I eat what I want
If I remember to eat at all
Oh, but in spite of the world that the world might see
And in spite of the world or what the truth might be
Yeah, what the truth might be
It’s something I don’t recall
And there’s a made-for-TV movie
It comes on every night right on cue
And like a made-for-TV movie
We ain’t got nothing better to do
And there’s guys rolling in over Ozone Park
And I keep telling myself when the sky gets dark
Yeah, when the sky gets dark
That’s when I’ll know what I need to do
And I won’t have to read like some page is ripped
From a scene at the end of some tired old script
Yeah, some whitewashed script
You could never quite get through
And like a made-for-TV movie
Plain-spoken and far too damned polite
How 'bout a made-for-TV movie?
You might be all living tonight
This Sunday I’m finally getting right
Until Sunday I’m finally getting right
Until Sunday I’m finally getting right
Yeah!
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
