i broke the dial on my TV
and now its stuck on channel three
all i get is hum and snow
but i sit around and watch it though
test pattern indians
come around about two o clock
sometimes they bring the peace pipe
sometimes they bring the tomahawk
as i'm looking at the screen
a little smile begins to form
i know that they're alive in there
because my TV set is warm
i broke the dial on my TV
and now its stuck on channel three
all i get is hum and snow
but i sit around and i watch it though
look into the cathode ray
see yourself a-lookin' back
sometimes one may lose the signal
and the picture fades to black
little ghosts may come to play
and into your view they'll swarm
i know that they're alive in there
because my TV set is warm
i broke the dial on my TV
and now its stuck on channel three
all i get is hum and snow
but i sit around and watch it though
