i'll be there if you want me
        exactly where you said i'd be
        in the easy chair
        in front of the tv

        i don't care what i see
        the au pair on the bed settee
        with her teddy bear
        and a cup of tea
        i swear she's out of her tree
        the way she stares right out at me
        i can't leave i lost my key
        i can't breathe somebody help me

        visiting the bathroom
        that's my format
        living in a vacuum
        keept me warm at
        ninety degrees in my shades
        ninety degrees in my shades

        surprise surprise that monotone phrase
        idealize this monochrome haze
        i realise these idle days
        that come disguised as powder blue rays
        hypnotized i only gaze
        i cannot rise i can't be phased
        square eyes are the latest craze
        twice their size double glazed
        i'm stuck in a groove i'll never be free
        i can't move somebody help me

        boy in the backroom that's my handle
        living in a vacuum that's my angle
        ninety degrees in my shades
        ninety degrees in my shades

        invisible voice now don't forget
        you have no choice turn off your set
        please mr voice not yet
        white noise of a dying pet
        any boy's heart would regret
        not one spark that i can see
        i'm in the dark somebody help me

        visiting the bathroom
        that's my format
        living in a vacuum
        keeps me warm at
        ninety degrees in my shades
        ninety degrees in my shades

        90°
        in My
        Shades

        90°
        in My
        Shades
