Cable TV Lyrics by Fol Chen

Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made

2009

[Verse 1]
Now you've been working so hard
Runnin' in circles
Like a robot shortin' circuits
Like it's set to blow

I've gotta make an appointment
Just to kiss you, baby
I'm not complainin'
But I've got to know

[Chorus 1]
Won't you come away with me?
I'm not rich, but the first night is on me
You know I just got paid, baby
I know a place, and they got Cable TV

[Verse 2]
Now here we are by the pool
Of this motel
Getting dizzy from the spritzers
And the desert heat

I'm getting tired of waiting
Fuck the hot tub
Let's go back to the room
And watch some Cable TV

[Chorus 2]
Won't you come away with me?
The carpet's filthy, but the ice is free
You know I just got paid
So we can order Pay-Per-View
If nothing good's on TV

[Verse 3]
It's getting late, hit the lights
But leave the TV on
And put in the dance mix
Let the boom box boom

I thought that I knew what love was
Then I saw you
Dancing in your underwear to
"When I think of you"

[Outro]
When I think of you, baby
(My heart just triples in size)
When I think of you, baby
