I Think About You During The Commercials

I can't sleep at night and I can't sleep in the day
It's the TV dinner that's keeping me awake
the words are crawling in
the words are crawling out
the words are playing poker on my snout

the theory of relativity
finally started to make sense to me now
and I worry
because the algebra never impresses me
turning 'round, it's fascinating in proof
of you

I think about you during the commercials
I try and keep you away
I think about you during the commercials
every day
stuck in my brain
"growing pains" go to the brain
except sometimes when jason talks to mike
and they really communicate

this doll is just a head
in "the brain that wouldn't die"
on "mystery science theater" last night
but when I get too drunk
and start picturing your face
I think of all the girls of "melrose place"

consider all the possibilities
offered in by new technology
one million channels
tv guide says there's a math marathon
five great math students
we should be proud of as americans

I think about you during the commercials
I try and keep you away
I think about you during the commercials
all the time
stuck in my mind
but when the break
gets over, I
wonder why the meat head
never gets the business and the palm trees bit

like me and you, like me and you
like me and you, like me and you
