The Only Channel

Turn, turn and turn it up

Every lens is looking up

Red light blinking over my name

Your quiet room is a front row frame

I choose the angle, I set the scene

Cut to the version you want to see

One little signal, you lose your control

Closer and closer, I take the whole room

Count every second, wait for the cue

When the picture comes in, it comes back to me and you

I'm the only channel you want tonight

Every little screen turns toward my light

Say my name, let the whole world stare

I own the picture, I

I'm the only air

I'm the only channel locked in your eyes

No turning away, no changing sides

Keep watching, darling, follow the signs

You can have the world when you're watching mine

Flashbulbs freeze me in black and white

I make a headline out of appetite

Your fascination wears my face

And I change the chase

One little signal, you lose your control

Closer and closer, I take the whole room

Count every second, wait for the cue

And I put you down, down, down, down, down

I'm the only channel you want tonight

Every little screen turns toward my light

Say my name

Let the whole world stare

I own the picture, I own the air

I'm the only channel locked in your eyes

No turning away, no changing sides

Keep watching, darling

Follow the signs

You can have the world when you're watching mine

Static on the speakers, velvet on the wire

I don't need permission or manufactured desire

If you touch the dial, I'm already there

A face in every window, a crown in every glare

I'm the only channel you want tonight

Every little screen turns toward my light

Say my name, let the whole world stare

I own the picture, I own the air

I'm the only channel locked in your eyes

No turning away, no changing sides

Keep watching, darling, follow the sign

You can have the world when you're watching mine

Turn it up

Every lens is looking up
