Television Prayer Circle

We gather at the consumer electronics store

We find the latest screen at 4k or more

We're excited by the prospect of 16k soon

As we're avid consummate professionals too

There's 5 of us regularly, and 6 on occasion

Prior commitments are a sin but the screens are patient

The manager lets us do this for he too knows

That the spectacle of worship helps the televisions go

We get down on knees at least if we're able

Sometimes for balance we need to grab a table

Descendants of Logie Baird, like man, still age

But feel every cell in our bodies autophage

We're positioned in a semi-demi-circle

With our bodies facing the great work

All eyes are set on our performance or the screen

Playing demonstration material with no particular theme

Screens of meaning and signal divinations

Sent into the homes across the nation

Bakelite ready-made spirituality

The radio spectrum in its totality

We're impotent and powerless, the state broadcaster

We're nowhere, our chairman is Lord T J Raster

We embed no messages, there's nothing subliminal

We're a relic, we're perverse, we're all thugs and criminals

We get down on knees at least if we're able

Sometimes for balance we need to grab a table

Descendants of Logie Baird, like man, still age

But feel every cell in our bodies autophage

We're positioned in a semi-demi-circle

With our bodies facing the great work

All eyes are set on our performance or the screen

Playing demonstration material with no particular theme
