Mechanical Animals (lyrics)
|
| In space the stars are no nearer |
|
| They just glitter like a morgue |
|
| And I dreamed I was a spaceman |
|
| Burned like a moth in a flame |
|
| And our world was so fucking gone |
|
| But I’m not attached to your world |
|
| Nothing heals and nothing grows |
|
| Because it’s a great big white world |
|
| And we are drained of our colors |
|
| We used to love ourselves, |
|
| We used to love one another |
|
| My prescription’s low, I wish you |
|
| In a world so white what else could I say? |
|
| All the vases are so broken |
|
| And the roses tear our hands all open |
|
| But we pray just like insects |
|
| Because it’s a great big white world |
|
| And we are drained of our colors |
|
| We used to love ourselves, |
|
| We used to love one another |
|
| My prescription’s low, I wish you |
|
| In a world so white what else could I say? |
|
| Narcissistic and so shallow |
|
| To swim you have to swallow |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| There's lots of pretty, pretty ones |
|
| But all the pretty, pretty ones |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| They love you when you're on all the covers |
|
| When you're not then they love another |
|
| They love you when you're on all the covers |
|
| When you're not then they love another |
|
| We'd really like to sell you |
|
| Who will I wake up with tomorrow? |
|
| There's lots of pretty, pretty ones |
|
| But all the pretty, pretty ones |
|
| They love you when you're on all the covers |
|
| When you're not then they love another |
|
| They love you when you're on all the covers |
|
| When you're not then they love another |
|
| There's lots of pretty, pretty ones |
|
| But all the pretty, pretty ones |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| We're all stars now in the dope show |
|
| We were neurophobic and perfect |
|
| The day that we lost our souls |
|
| Maybe we weren’t so human |
|
| That never stopped exploding |
|
| As hollow as the "o" in god |
|
| I am never gonna be the one for you |
|
| I am never gonna save the world from you |
|
| But they’ll never be good to you |
|
| They’ll never be anything |
|
| You were my mechanical bride |
|
| A manniqueen of depression |
|
| With the face of a dead star |
|
| That never stopped exploding |
|
| As hollow as the "o" in god |
|
| I am never gonna be the one for you |
|
| I am never gonna save the world from you |
|
| But they’ll never be good to you |
|
| They’ll never be anything |
|
| This isn’t me I’m not mechanical |
|
| All simple monkeys with alien babies |
|
| And crucifixes for ladies |
|
| Worldwide and real webbed |
|
| Shock is all in your head |
|
| Your sex and your dope is all the we're fed |
|
| So fuck all your protests and |
|
| 1,000 mothers are praying for it |
|
| Shock is all in your head |
|
| Your sex and your dope is all the we're fed |
|
| So fuck all your protests and |
|
| Shock is all in your head |
|
| Your sex and your dope is all the we're fed |
|
| So fuck all your protests and |
|
| I can tell you what they say in space |
|
| That our earth is too grey |
|
| But when the spirit is so digital |
|
| That world was killing me |
|
| That world was killing me |
|
| The nervous systems down, |
|
| The nervous systems down, |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| Your world was killing me |
|
| Your world was killing me |
|
| Your world was killing me |
|
| Your world was killing me |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| The nervous systems down, |
|
| The nervous systems down, |
|
| The nervous systems down, |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| I can never get out of here |
|
| I don't want to just float in fear |
|
| A dead astronaut in space |
|
| Just remember when you think |
|
| The crack inside your fucking heart is me |
|
| I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day |
|
| I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day |
|
| But I can't lay on my back |
|
| For everyday that I've known you |
|
| Just remember when you think |
|
| The crack inside your fucking heart is me |
|
| I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day |
|
| I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day |
|
| Lie to me, cry to me, give to me |
|
| Lie with me, die with me, give to me |
|
| Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair always |
|
| Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair always |
|
| Lie to me, cry to me, give to me |
|
| Lie with me, die with me, give to me |
|
| I hope that we die holding hands |
|
| I hope that we die holding hands |
|
| I hope that we die holding hands |
|
| She’s got eyes like zapruder |
|
| This isn’t god, this isn’t god |
|
| God is a number you cannot count to |
|
| You are posthuman and hardwired |
|
| She’s a saint like Jackie-O |
|
| This isn’t god, this isn’t god |
|
| Say, show me the dead stars, |
|
| All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold |
|
| I'm a million different things |
|
| Hey, and our mommies are lost now |
|
| Hey, daddy's someone else |
|
| Hey, and we love the abuse |
|
| Because it makes us feel like we are needed now |
|
| By the time I'm old enough |
|
| I won't know anything at all |
|
| Hey, and our mommies are lost now |
|
| Hey, daddy's someone else |
|
| Hey, and we love the abuse |
|
| Because it makes us feel like we are needed now |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| We're white and oh so hetero and |
|
| We're quitters and we're sober |
|
| Our confessions will be televised. |
|
| You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall |
|
| Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all. |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| God is white and unforgiving |
|
| We're piss tested and we're praying. |
|
| I'm just a sample of a soul |
|
| Made to look just like a human being. |
|
| We're rehabbed and we're ready |
|
| For our 15 minutes of shame. |
|
| We're talkshown and we're pointing |
|
| Just like christians at a suicide. |
|
| You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall |
|
| Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all. |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope |
|
| I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me |
|
| I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs |
|
| I'm as fake as a wedding cake |
|
| And I'm vague and I know that I'm |
|
| I'm the new, I'm the new, new model |
|
| Better in the head and in bed |
|
| I can choke and diet on coke |
|
| That I'm stoned and rolling |
|
| I'm the new, I'm the new, new model |
|
| Better in the head and in bed |
|
| Don't let them know how far you go |
|
| Or that you use your lovers |
|
| Oh look, you're like a VCR |
|
| Stick something in to know |
|
| I'm the new, I'm the new, new model |
|
| Better in the head and in bed |
|
| Use me when you want to come |
|
| I've bled just to have your touch |
|
| When I'm in you I want to die |
|
| User friendly fucking dopestar obscene |
|
| Will you die when you're high |
|
| You'd never die just for me |
|
| I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you |
|
| 'til somebody better comes along. |
|
| Use me like I was a whore |
|
| Relationships are such a bore |
|
| Delete the ones that you've fucked |
|
| User friendly fucking dopestar obscene |
|
| Will you die when you're high |
|
| You'd never die just for me |
|
| I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you |
|
| 'til somebody better comes along. |
|
| I want to wake up in your |
|
| And I want to wake up in your world |
|
| But I'll just suffer in a hope to die someday |
|
| While you are numb all of the way |
|
| When I hate it I know I can feel but |
|
| When you love you know it's not real |
|
| And I am resigned to this wicked fucking world |
|
| I know what to do and I do it well... |
|
| When I hate it I know I can feel but |
|
| When you love you know it's not real |
|
| If I loved myself I'd be shooting you |
|
| Yesterday was a million years ago |
|
| In all my past lives I played an asshole |
|
| Now I found you, it's almost too late |
|
| And this earth seems obliviating |
|
| We are trembling in our crutches |
|
| High and dead our skin is glass |
|
| I'm so empty here without you |
|
| I know it's the last day on earth |
|
| We'll be together while the planet dies |
|
| I know it's the last day on earth |
|
| And the dogs slaughter each other softly |
|
| Love burns its casualties |
|
| We are damaged provider modules |
|
| Spill the seeds at our children's feet |
|
| I'm so empty here without you |
|
| I know it's the last day on earth |
|
| We'll be together while the planet dies |
|
| I know it's the last day on earth |
|
| There's something cold and blank behind her smile |
|
| She's standing on an overpass |
|
| You were from a perfect world |
|
| A world that threw me away today |
|
| A pill to make you anybody else |
|
| But all the drugs in this world |
|
| Won't save her from herself |
|
| Her mouth was an empty cut |
|
| And she was waiting to fall |
|
| Just bleeding like a polaroid that |
|
| You were from a perfect world |
|
| A world that threw me away today |
|
| A pill to make you anybody else |
|
| But all the drugs in this world |
|
| Won't save her from herself |
|
|
