The Ghost Of Media Yet To Come
Lyrics:
While searching through my old things
Through circuits and wiring
I found an old crystal tuner dial
While reaching to wrench it free
A burst of sudden energy
Filled all the room for quite a while
There stood a man, and there I stood with him
The ghost of an age yet to be given
He said he must show me things that would happen
And I took a breath to stop me from shaking
(Chorus)
I met the ghost of media yet to come, media yet to come
Media yet to come.
With a tune of the dial we were on a street corner
By a newspaper stand, with print in full color
The headlines were bold, in red flashing neon
And I thought this ghost must be putting me on
(Chorus)
(Instrumental break)
He read me pages of tragedies
Too bad, too bad to speak of
All kinds of grievous calamities
I said "let's go, I've seen enough"
And we were there inside the newswriter's office
Watching the soaps on their TVs
And a big man with a cigar was giving them orders
Take care and don't miss a single scene
And then there I was alone in my room
Wondering how all of this could be true
The media had become just sick entertainment
And ghost or no ghost, I couldn't explain it
(Chorus)
