Somebody saved my soul on Monday
he stopped my car on Sunday
Somebody left me under the tree
he cares about me
he put a salt in my coffee
Somebody drifted me in the sea
Somebody cares about my Mommy
When I'm watching TV
Heros are going down
Come again and again
They will never see me
I'll never see them
No one can't stop me
To change the channel
No one can't stay between
me and TV
me and TV
Finally
Nothing’s gonna change
I'm really
not arranged
My heart
beating in your rhythm
something between
