Language Is A Virus lyrics

Paradise is exactly like

Where you are right now

Only much, much better

I saw this guy on the train

And he seemed to gave gotten stuck

In one of those abstract trances

And he was going: Ugh... Ugh... Ugh...

And Fred said: I think he's in some kind of pain

I think it's a pain cry

And I said: Pain cry?

Then language is a virus

Language

It's a virus

Language

It's a virus

Well, I was talking to a friend

And I was saying: I wanted you

And I was looking for you

But I couldn't find you

I couldn't find you

And he said: Hey!

Are you talking to me?

Or are you just practicing

For one of those performances of yours?

Huh?

Language

It's a virus

Language

It's a virus

He said: I had to write that letter to your mother

And I had to tell the judge that it was you

And I had to sell the car and go to Florida

Because that's just my way of saying

That I love you

And I Had to call you at the crack of dawn

And list the times that I've been wrong

Cause that's just my way of saying

That I'm sorry (It's a job)

Sorry!

Language

It's a virus

Language

It's a virus

Paradise is exactly like

Where you are right now

Only much much better

(It's a shipwreck)

(It's a job)

You know?

I don't believe there's such a thing as TV

I mean - they just keep showing

The same pictures over and over

And when they talk they just make sounds

That more or less synch up

With their lips

That's what I think

Language

It's a virus

Language

It's a virus

Language

It's a virus

Well, I dreamed there was an island

That rose up from the sea

And everybody on the island

Was somebody from TV

And there was a beautiful view

But nobody could see

'Cause everybody on the island was saying:

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

(Why?)

Because they all lived on an island

That rose up from the sea

And everybody on the island

Was somebody from TV

And there was a beautiful view

But nobody could see

'Cause everybody on the island was screaming:

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Paradise is exactly like

Where you are right now

Only much much better
