Every day when I come home,
I unplug the telephone.
To watch TV on my own,
all alone.

I'd give everything I own
to appear on a TV show.
And I'm not the only one,
oh no.

This must be paradise,
must be the promised land
sitting on the front there, waving to ya...

(Chorus):
Can you see me,
I'm on TV
Can you see me, I am on TV.

I saw a talk-show advertise
it said everybody can apply.
So I wrote them with the photo,
no reply.

Soon I worked up a new plan,
I called them up again and again.
Day and night it was a war of nerves
and of words.

Now I'm in paradise,
I'm in the promised land.
Finally, heaven is closing in.

(Chorus)

Now I'm in paradise,
I'm in the promised land.
Finally, my dull life can expand.
