There
   In the dark
   There's a child and she's waiting
   Lost in the maze of a fait accompli
   Is it a crime to be just hesitating
   While we're pretending that we never see
  
   On a TV mounted on the wall
   From this distance I can see it all
   And I've been out here
   Watching you
   Watching you fall
  
   Is there a trick to the art of not feeling
   Safe in our world while another's child bleeds
   Praying that God won't demand a redealing
   Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need
  
   On a TV mounted on the wall
   From this distance I can see it all
   And I've been out here
   Watching you
   Watching you fall
  
   Better not think about it
   In time we'll start to doubt it
   Christ has risen
   Keep him hidden
   God forbid he sees
  
   It's not that we lack the vision
   Only just a quick decision
   Who will blame us
   Rules restrain us
   It's all in history
  
   So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping
   Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams
  
   On a TV mounted on the wall
   From this distance I can see it all
   And I've been out here
   Watching you fall
