Lyrics

In a tiny little house me and my girl
Take a little trip around the world
Every night
in cheap black and white

We love to lay around in bed
Playing tourist in our heads
Traveling light
in cheap black and white

oh how we love to spend the day
dreaming under skies of gray
anything we might desire
comes to us through the wire

see our great leader speaking his mind
picture postcards for the blind
a beautiful sight
in cheap black and white

see kennedy's kids on Hollywood squares
the latest hits and foreign affairs
the world tonight
in cheap black and white

oh how we love to spend the day
dreaming under skies of gray
lofty goals and cheap desires
fuel that old cool fire

this fantasy island sure is nice
seems almost like paradise
close but not quite
cheap black and white
cheap black and white
cheap black and white...
