The Next Episode

Oh, come on now, baby,

Just one more hit of that sweet TV,

But they’re makin’ me wait,

Can’t stand the agony!

The captain’s lost, floating out in space,

Her ship’s adrift, in its dark embrace.

Aliens are comin’, they’re at the airlock,

How’s she gonna survive, what’s the twist in the plot?

The crew’s in danger, trapped on a desolate moon…

“And I’m stuck waitin' ‘til next Tuesday afternoon!”

Oh, I gotta see where the story goes,

Don’t wanna wait a week for the next episode.

I’m invested, I’m on edge, but… no, no, no!

They gonna keep me hangin’ for the next episode!

Detective Jones, he’s hot on the trail,

The killer’s close, and I’m biting my nails.

A body’s found, left in the rain,

Could his partner be in on the whole damn game?

Baby, now he’s ready, to make his move,

“But the credits roll, and I lose my cool!”

Oh, I gotta see where the story goes,

Don’t wanna wait a week for the next episode.

I’m invested, I’m on edge, but… no, no, no!

They gonna keep me hangin’ for the next episode!

In the woods, there’s a phantom they say,

Hauntin’ the town, takin' folks away.

Has the hero got powers, he just don’t know yet?

Could he be the key, or a bigger threat?

He bursts through the door, ready to fight,

“The screen goes black… come back next Saturday night!”

Oh, I gotta see where the story goes,

Don’t wanna wait a week for the next episode.

I’m invested, I’m on edge, but… no, no, no!

They gonna keep me hangin’ for the next episode!

I wanna binge-watch my shows, until my eyes turn square,

Spend the whole day watchin’, nah, I don’t even care.

But watch a single episode, then wait a week for more?

Man, this ain’t what I pay my subscription for.

Oh, I gotta see where the story goes,

Don’t wanna wait a week for the next episode.

I’m invested, I’m on edge, but… no, no, no!

They gonna keep me hangin’ for the next episode!

Yeah, I’m hangin’ on, baby, Suspended in time,

Just one more week, To resume the storyline.

Who’s gonna win, who’s gonna lose?

Will they discover her secret, Which suitor will she choose?

The zombies broke through, oh no, who’s still alive?

When the robots take over, how will we survive?

Will ungrateful offspring get the in-herry-tense they deserve?

Will the high school bullies get their just desserts?

Will the dragon burn our favourite rogue to a crisp?

Will the fashion world accept someone as awkward as this?

Oh, I just wanna see where the story goes,

But I gotta wait a week for the next episode!
