Static

One, two, three, tap your feet, such a classic melody
One, two, three, you know the words, so sing along with me
One, two, three, motley scenes shining through the silver screen
One, two, three, don't cha think this is how it ought to be?

Just another day, throw your cares away
And laugh hand-in-hand with me
Just another day, just another day
(It's just another day, it's just another day)
One, two, three, what's the nicest thing you see? (Hmm)
It's me

The world you know, always runnin' to and fro
A frightful place to be
But don't be scared, I'm not going anywhere!
So just don't touch the dial and stay here a while with me! (Woah)

Panic! In-static! Out-manic
Don't you find it all romantic, the way things used to be?
Classic, ecstatic, it's magic
To trip the light fantastic, repeat it after me

This is how it should be, in studio seats
My ego wired in the CRT
We can skip the sign-off, ol' familiar scene, repeating
This is how it should be

One, two, three, sing with me, it's a catchy melody
A. B. C it sounds so sweet when you sing along with me
Four, five, six, check the script? Keep your harmony in key
Ten, nine, eight, for the sake of the way it ought to be

Just another day, throw your cares away
And laugh hand-in-hand with me
Just another day, just another day keeping our company
Who cares what people say? We'll stay another day in revelry, reverie!
Always be together, fair and stormy weather
Never growing older, never growing colder
Always be together, now and for forever
One, two, three, who's the brightest star you see?
It's me

The world you know never seems to take it slow
A tiring pace indeed
So don't delay, I'll be here to save the day
Just please don't touch the dial
Just stay here a while with me (ah)

Panic! In static! Out-manic!
Don't you find it all romantic, the way things used to be?
Classic, ecstatic, it's magic
To trip the light fantastic, repeat it after me

This is how it should be, in studio seats
My ego wired in the CRT
We can skip the sign-off, ol' familiar scene, repeating
This is how it should be

When you go, just don't change the channel
I hope you won't be long
After all, I want to be wanted
Is that so wrong?

Panic! In static! Out-manic!
Don't you find it all romantic, the way things used to be?
Classic, ecstatic, it's magic
To trip the light fantastic, repeat it after me

This is how it should be, in studio seats
My ego wired in the CRT
We can skip the sign-off, ol' familiar scene, repeating
This is how it should be!

This is how it should be, in studio seats
My ego wired in the CRT
We can skip the sign-off, ol' familiar scene, repeating
This is how it should be
(How it should be, this is how it should be)
(This is how it should be, this is how it should be)
This is how it should be
