I can't sleep at night and I can't sleep in the day
 
 It's the TV dinner that's keeping me awake
 
 the words are crawling in
 
 the words are crawling out
 
 the words are playing poker on my snout
 
  
  the theory of relativity
 
 finally started to make sense to me now
 
 and I worry
 
 because the algebra never impresses me
 
 turning 'round, it's fascinating in proof
 
 of you
  
 
 I think about you during the commercials
 
 I try and keep you away
 
 I think about you during the commercials
 
 every day
 
 stuck in my brain
 
 "growing pains" go to the brain
 
 except sometimes when jason talks to mike
 
 and they really communicate
  
 
 this doll is just a head
 
 in "the brain that wouldn't die"
 
 on "mystery science theater" last night
 
 but when I get too drunk
 
 and start picturing your face
 
 I think of all the girls of "melrose place"
  
 
 consider all the possibilities
 
 offered in by new technology
 
 one million channels
 
 tv guide says there's a math marathon
 
 five great math students
 
 we should be proud of as americans
  
 
 I think about you during the commercials
 
 I try and keep you away
 
 I think about you during the commercials
 
 all the time
 
 stuck in my mind
 
 but when the break
 
 gets over, I
 
 wonder why the meat head
 
 never gets the business and the palm trees bit
  
 
 like me and you, like me and you
 
 like me and you, like me and you
