This song was written as part of FAWM 2010. FAWM stands for February Album Writing Month, an attempt to write 14 songs in the 28 days of February. I'll probably do it again. There is, of course, a web site: www.FAWM.org
lyrics
As you lie in your bed
Satellites swing overhead
Carrier signal modulates
Close your eyes and wait
Chorus:
As the sun goes down over TV Hill
All your troubles fade to black
Frequency slow test pattern glow
Fidelity, telemetry your memory of so-called fact
Open your eyes in your bed
Static floods through your head
Round the clock the updates flow
Bulletins fall like gentle snow
Chorus
Wires hum, lights go dim
Justice served, everyone wins
Afternoon chills you to the bone
It's time to turn and go back home
Chorus
Everything is delivered, everything you desire
Everything is provided, guided by wire
Chorus
As you lie in your bed
Satellites swing overhead
Carrier signal modulates
Close your eyes and wait
