well some people like to hang out at bars downtown
where they try to socialize and let their problems drown

and some people like to read at the hip cafe
where the company's nice if you tend to lean the right way

but then there are those who abstain from beaches
prefer hanging out where the sun never reaches

and if you find one, he'll gladly confess
that the best place in town is also the darkest

those beverages are fine but far too bitter for some
who prefer hanging out far away from the sun

trees are pretty and air is a blast
this weather is nice, just as long as it lasts

but there's nothing quite like the comfort of AC
flowing in your basement while watching TV

where you don't need pants or have to get dressed
sometimes the best place is also the darkest

oh the best things in life are not free
they're the ones that come through the cable TV

oh but maybe there's more to this town
so listen up and turn the volume down

oh the best things in life are easy
they're the ones that don't require I go find my house key

oh but maybe there's much more to see
so open up and turn off that TV
