Salvation Station

It's the same old movie on my TV that's showing
again
Mommy's insane
Her baby's dead
But the cradle still rocks its head
It's the funniest thing
It's something to see
Over and over again
On my TV

The man in a white collar is on the screen
Acting for his big dollar
Channel Three is all I need
Preacher says he'll set me free
On my TV

I found salvation on the station
There's salvation sold on that station
As the cameras roll
The satellite feeds my brain
And I hide in that ghostly light
It's my oh so lonely life

In a soap opera today
Come tomorrow there'll be a different character
to play
I'm losing grip in the rat race
In a cop chase I'm the thief committing crime
Well it's on the prime-time
On the news line
Just like Channel Three
A millionaire ministry
Mass producing faith like a factory
Won't you set me free
From my TV

I found salvation on the station
Found salvation on the station
There's salvation sold on that station
As the cameras roll
The satellite feeds my brain
And I hide in that ghostly light
It's my lonely life
It feels like I'm living in a sequel
I'm living for the salvation station
Yes, I'm living in a sequel
It never ends
