Video Girl 03:07
You're a video girl Tuned to black and white Spin that record Till the past survives Eyes turn away Put your lips to mine Yeah we dance like this Till the end of time I am your video girl I am your video I am your video I am your video girl You're my video girl Turn me on tonight Just press play So the past survives Lights turned down But your lips don't lie Can we dance like this TiIll the end of time? I am your video girl I am your video

Pretty little doll Let me hold you close We can watch the sun set From coast to coast Catch a jet plane Right on time Set your heart On fire tonight The city is moving the lights are bright Can't see your face in the New York night It's 1985 tonight Maybe it's the money Or the fancy clothes We walk the boulevard Until it's closed It's 3 am You're out of time I write the words You drink the wine

Son of Sam 04:32
Oh hey Don't you wanna know my name And what it is I have to say I bet he's got a gun And he's looking for some love They left you on your own How does it feel to be alone Just a man who's alone Standing in the rain I'm a God when you know who I am No one's coming home Son of Sam

Mr. Grey 02:05
I am forgotten In this time In this space The future's bright So I will wait Don't you say another word Don't you feel a little pain I lost you somewhere Beyond the grey

about

New York City, 1977

Smoke filled street corners and ragged bars, pimps and pushers, a smell that won't go away. His nighttime sky is filled with dreams that died. It's then that he sees her. Half human, half android. Half woman and half machine. Peering into his television she vanishes as quickly as she appeared. The air around him has become thick and humid, like the lie of a politician's smile, it masks the reality of his desperation. The air in the streets is heavy, the exhaust of too many taxis and Marlboros linger for days. A stray dog feverishly barks from the alley. He tries but can't block it out. Another headache. Another victim. Time for bed, but he can't sleep. He can never sleep. Then one night he is startled by the sound of metal on metal and a gritty static TV flickers as he enters the room. Slowly pacing towards the set, he sees her neon metal helmet. It seemed to be glowing in a way, inviting him. Reaching his arm inside the television he pulls hard, and finally she is there. She is real. Video Girl.
