Great Indoors Lyrics

[Intro]
Check your pulse
It's proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days


[Chorus]
Scared of a world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
The great indoors

[Verse 1]
Lamplight makes the shadows play
And posters take the walls away
The TV is your window pane
The view won't let you down

So put your faith in a late night show
I bet you didn't even know
Depends on how far out you go
The channel numbers change

[Chorus]
Scared of a world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
The great indoors
[Verse 2]
Though lately I can't blame you
I have seen the world
And sometimes wish your room had room for two

So go unlock the door
And find what you are here for
Leave the great indoors
Leave the great indoors

[Outro]
Check your pulse
It's proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days
