There in the dark There's a child and she's waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we're pretending that we never see On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you Watching you fall Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another's child bleeds Praying that God won't demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need Don't need On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you Watching you fall Better not think about it Anytime we'll start to doubt it Christ has risen Keep him hidden God forbid he sees It's not that we lack the vision Only just a quick decision Who will blame us, rules restrain us It's all in history So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you fall Yeah yeah
