Vicarious
by Tool

Eye on the TV, cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shunned by his own son"

"She used a poison

In his tea

and he kissed her goodbye"

Thats my kind of story

Its no fun till someone dies

Don't look at me like I am a monster

Frown out your one face but with the other

Stare like a junkie into the TV

Stare like a zombie while a mother

Holds her child, watches him die

Hands to the sky, crying "why oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?

Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

Neither the brave nor bold

Will write as the story's told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

And I need to watch things die from a good safe distance

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

You all feel the same so

Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down

Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior

Carnivore and voyeur

Stare at the transmitter

Sing to the death rattle

La la la la la la la lie

La la la la la la la lie

La la la la la la la lie

La la la la la la la lie

Incredulous at best, your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men

Pull your head on out

Your head believes in give a listen

Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile, so impersonal

Devour to survive

So it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

Much better you than I

Vicarious - A great song by Tool, where in it the lead singer Maynard says that he is Vicarious because by watching people die, he himself can feel death.
