20.000 Nights - Einar Stray Orchestra

The machinery of a plasma screen and stereo sound

Made the television hostess' eyelids twitch and drown

In tears of joy, cause how she loved to announce

Her favorite band finally on her show playing their own songs

That profound preaching hypnotized me, I admit

Her sudden earnestness made every lightning hit

It stroke me down and left a scorch of hopefulness

That there is still a little glimpse of soul in pop music

Out to plasma screens, in every home the stereo rang

When the band began, strummed their instruments and sang

And you could tell by their charisma they were pros

The jealousy rose in me and I was sold

I see reasons why we stay alive

You see reasons why we are a lie

I see reasons we still have the light

You see reasons why we’re still-life

And when the television hostess goes to sleep

She’ll pray her earnestness will not hurt her career

I hope she’ll understand the meaning of her fear

The influential consequences of her cheer

I see reasons why we stay alive

You see reasons why we are a lie

I see reasons we still have the light

You see reasons why we’re still-life

And when the television hostess is put to ground

I’ll be on television singing on her song

With tears of joy cause, how I’ll love to announce

She was my savior and my youth, sometimes my doubts
