Filmed In Front Of A Live Studio Audience Lyrics
(DIRECTOR TO THE CREW):
"SYMPATHIES:
DOWN THEN THEY'RE UP AGAIN.
WE WON'T SEE YOU THIS TIME NEXT YEAR
UNLESS THE SPONSORS COME THROUGH
AND THE MONEY STARTS POURING IN."
(LEADING MAN):
"I COULD SWEAR SOMEONE'S BEEN WATCHING ME.
I HEAR SOMETHING OUTSIDE.
IT MOVES IN MY DREAMS.
AT THE EDGES OF SLEEP."
(A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS):
"ARE YOU SAD?
DO YOU SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM AT NIGHT?
DO YOU NEED PILLS FOR YOUR MOODS?
OR SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU?
BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IT FEELS
WHEN THE SOUNDS OF THEIR LAUGHTER
AND THE TV'S COLD GLOW
FOLLOWS YOU HOME
TO THE ROOM WHERE YOU SLEEP ALL ALONE."
"SYMPATHIES:
DOWN THEN THEY'RE UP AGAIN.
WE WON'T SEE YOU THIS TIME NEXT YEAR
UNLESS THE SPONSORS COME THROUGH
AND THE MONEY STARTS POURING IN."
"I COULD SWEAR SOMEONE'S BEEN WATCHING ME.
I HEAR SOMETHING OUTSIDE.
IT MOVES IN MY DREAMS.
AT THE EDGES OF SLEEP."
"ARE YOU SAD?
DO YOU SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM AT NIGHT?
DO YOU NEED PILLS FOR YOUR MOODS?
OR SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU?
BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IT FEELS
WHEN THE SOUNDS OF THEIR LAUGHTER
AND THE TV'S COLD GLOW
FOLLOWS YOU HOME
TO THE ROOM WHERE YOU SLEEP ALL ALONE."

Ahhhh this song is awesome! Someone post the words spoken in the background near the end by who sounds like a fellow leading an infomercial!
(Background Television): "-and anyone who really stands out winds up -" "-Southwest winds around ten knots-" "-one of the most shocking news stories, terrible times in American history-" "-I said to him, 'I want to give you a hug; maybe I'll never see you again.'-"
(Director to the Crew): "Sympathies: down then they're up again. We won't see you this time next year unless the sponsors come through and the money starts pouring in"."
(Leading Man): "I could swear someone's been watching me. I hear something outside. It lives in my dreams at the edges of sleep."
(Background Television): "-to a phrase that kind of summarized it: 'If it feels good, do it.' And that was the mentality, uh, everything was up for grabs. I-If you didn't like your marriage, get a divorce. If you wanted to drive drunk, then go for it.-" "-dropouts-" "-and if the church made you feel guilty-" "-We'll be talking about some things that uh, probably aren't suitable for younger listeners-"
(A Word From Our Sponsor): "Are you sad? Do you sleep in your room at night? Do you need pills for your moods? Or someone to hold you? 'cause we know how it feels when the sound of their laughter and the TV's cold glow follows you home to the room where you sleep all alone."
