The Police – Omegaman Lyrics 19 years ago
No, I'd say you're right.

I would like to know where this line comes from though: "The sky's alive with turned on television sets", it reminds me very much of Neuromancer's opening line: "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel".

The songs's from '81, the book from '84. It looks like a meme that was around before Neuromancer, and considering that Sting read a lot during his Police days, it is not unthinkable he got the lines from somewhere else. Maybe from the novel the movie was based on, Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend"?
