Intro    
 
(1) Check your pulse   
Its proof that you?re not listening to   
The call your life?s been issuing you   
The rhythm of the line of idle days    
 
(2) Scared of the world outside you should go explore   
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors (004030)   
 
(1) Lamplight makes the shadows play   
and posters take the walls away   
The TV is a window pane   
The view wont let you down    
 
(1) 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    
 
(3) Scared of the world outside you should go explore   
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors    
(4) 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   
(3) Leave the great indoors   
(3) Leave the great indoors    
 
(5)    
 
(6) Check your pulse   
Its proof that you?re not listening to   
the call your life?s been issuing you   
The rhythm of the line of idle days
