Tool - Vicarious Lyrics

Send "Vicarious" ringtone to your cell

Eye on the TV

Cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor

It happens to be

Like:

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shot by his own son"

"She used a poison in his tea

And kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story.

It's no fun 'til 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 the 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 flowin'

Neither the brave nor bold

Will write as the stories told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

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

Synched to the death rattle...

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men

Pull your head on out

Your hippy beliefs and 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.
