TELEVISION TELEVISION
Look at the hottie in the tight jeans,
Look at the pipe dreams,
Look at the fat man bursting the seams
Look at the captain with the galaxy, right off his balcony
Look at the science and your alchemy
Look at the sirens on the cop cars
Look at the pop stars
Look at the convicts fighting the bars (?)
Look at the wife, look at the knife
Look at the prom prom prom queen screaming screaming run for her life
Oh it’s always right, the perfect life, the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life cos’ you cannot fight the television
Oooooh television television
Ooooooh the television!
Look at them trying to get the flag higher
Look at the quagmire
Look at the tread separate from the tyre
Look at the jockey trying to get a grip
Look at the betting man,
Look at him folding on the bet at hand
Oh its always right, to feel this light, the dark of night
Give up the world, give up your life cos’ you cannot fight the television
Oooooh television television
Ooooooh the television television
Oh the television
Look at me hypnotised ….. (?) maybe its four or five some parts are sleeping some parts are paralysed just one more minute, just one more minute, I think I’m almost in it
The television television
Ooooooh television television
Oooohh give me (?) politicians
Give me death and demolition
Give me (?) and sedition
A million ways...HELP! Feel free to correct my mistakes and fill in any blanks you may know.

I hear "look at the fat man burst at the seams"
"tread seperate from the tire" (maybe that was just a typo though)
"look at me hypnotized and half alive. maybe it's four or five"
When they finally come to destroy the earth they’ll have to go through you first, and I bet they wont be expecting that. When they finally come to destroy the earth they’ll have to deal with you first. And my money says they won’t know about the 1000-Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
invincible oh oh oh
Crushing crashing eyes of smashing white hot light hey…invincible
When they finally come what will you do to them? Gonna decimate like you did to me? Will you leave them standing stuttering when they finally come out will you handle them, will you devastate them deliberately. Cause im gonna guess they wont be prepared for the 1000 Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
Invincible oh oh oh
So please use your powers for good. Please use your powers for good.
Invincible oh oh oh
just in case anyone still needed those
A million ways..

Sit back, matter fact,

A nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow....

A list of standard issue regrets. (i got this also)
One last 80 proof (LOL i got this too)
Slouching in the corner booth.
Baby it's as good as it gets.
EDIT: yea i got the fat man typos in television, but tyre is what we say in the UK (i'm pretty sure it means the same thing lol).... and the hypnotised bit i could barely get at all!!
For "Television," I think that line is "glamour and sedition."
For "Million Ways," it sounds like "play that song again, another couple klonopin." (Klonopin is a drug - I believe it's used for anxiety, but I could be totally making that up.)
For "Invincible," I hear "crushing, crashing, atom-smashing."
Agree? Disagree? Know the right use for klonopin?
thanks!

it could be atom-smashing but i just naturally assumed eyes of smashing becaue of the earlier line "lights behind your eyes"
(I think this is how it goes)

Search back through the archives of the OK Go forum until you see a thread called "live songs". In it is a link to the email account of a member called Seifer. It's got live versions of about 8 of the new songs as well as rare, unreleased songs.

i'm pretty sure the first part is "ticker tape parade"
and the second, "and leave me stumblin' in the dark of night" (but i'm not positive)
those blanks are killing me... i can't for the life of me figure out the words!!!

I'm guessing, and this is the intellectual in me, that in the begining its "in the mushy ment for two". Doesn't make sense, too a common man but dealing with taking bites out of the sun and seeing your "future" anything is a go in this lyrics. Thats what I hear.

p.s. If no one comes forward to explain his/her actions, I'll assume it was a mistake and I'll put up a link to my iDisk Public Folder (it's 'read only', so no one can accidentally delete them!). You'll be able to download the songs from there (I also put a couple of versions of the "Million Ways" video in there, too). I just want to try to find out more about what happened before I do...

Fill in the blanks! In the following order..

Dunno the last one
It wasn't me...I'm guessing that it was Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, but don't know why though.
So, Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore...if it was you, please let me know (and I apologize!). Maybe you could let me know the rules about what is and isn't okay to post...
