Love on TV

Happy Valentine's Day is my Valentine's wish to you from me
This Valentine's Day I wish you all the love on TV
Love
My real heart couldn't take it
TV
So I turn on the tube and fake it
This Valentine's Day all I want is love on TV
"Be my Valentine"'s not what you need to say to make me happy
A real red rose just can't supplant the love on TV
Love
It's not unusual
TV
It's not unusual either
This Valentine's Day all I want is love on TV
So if you're standing here, hearing this, eating a heart-shaped cookie
You might as well be eating my heart for all the love it's brought me
I can only experience human emotion towards another person vicariously
And the only love I'm falling in is love on TV
Love
TV
This Valentine's Day all I want is love on TV
Love on TV
Love on TV

Late Life

"Singles scene"
I guess I see what they mean
Plenty of women avoiding men
I scan the place
For just one friendly face
Sidewalk.com has lied again
And normally it's my favorite bar
So I drove down and parked my car
But this is not where the people are
Tonight
She sings songs
From the stage while I hum along
As I look around, and I drink my beer
The talk is loud
From the solitary crowd
I hear they filmed scenes from Singles here
It could have been the perfect night
With girls on the stage in clothing tight
But I'm not doing something right
And no one welcomes me to late life
Late life
No one welcomes me to late life
If something shines
Underneath the beers and wines
I'm not perceiving the subtlety
If something glows
At these late, peculiar shows
Everyone sees it except for me
I heard her sing she wants his head
Inside a box, inside her bed
But she's on stage, and I'm misled
And this is what she means by "late life"
Late life
This is what she means by "late life"
This is what she means by "late life"

Kiss Locally

Lick my lips and tongue my teeth
Chew my chin from underneath
Breathe my breath of ecstasy
It's fun to feel you next to me
Your picture makes me want to play
It's hard when you're so far away
Some come to my proximity
Kiss locally, kiss locally
(Kiss me here)
Kiss me in familiar places
(Kiss me here)
Don't kiss the lips of foreign faces
I want you here and close to me
Kiss locally, kiss locally
Geography's not my game
All those states all look the same
I need a map to help me see
When you're not where you should be
A photograph of your image
Is flat as magnets on my fridge
I want to feel you in 3D
Kiss locally, kiss locally
(Kiss me here)
If we kiss in the same city
(Kiss me here)
We can kiss more accurately
I want you here and close to me
Kiss locally, kiss locally
When I finally get you in my grip
I'm never gonna let go of your lips
I'll occupy your mouth, so you can't say
You're ever gonna have to go away
I'll kiss your stomach if you let me see
And other things in that locality
I'll kiss you anyplace you tell me to
I'll kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss you
Your presence is a luxury
I miss you when you're far from me
So come in my vicinity
Kiss locally, kiss locally, kiss locally, kiss locally, kiss locally, kiss locally
