And I dreamed,
There was an island
That rose up from the sea
And everybody on the island
Was somebody from TV
And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me look at me look at me!
Why?
Because they all lived on an island
That rose up from the sea
And everybody on the island
Was somebody from TV
And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see
Cause everybody on the island
Was screaming
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me look at me look at me!

Paradise
Is exactly like
Where you are right now
Only much,
MUCH,
better.

(Laurie Anderson, "Language Is A Virus", from Home of the Brave)
