##############################################################
01. GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD ############################################################## 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 you now Nothing heals and nothing grows
Refrain: Because it's a great big white world and we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves, we used to love another All my stiches itch My prescription's low, I wish you were queen just for today In a world so white what else could I say?
And hell was so cold All the vases are so broken And the roses tear our hands all open Mother marry miscarry And we pray just like insects The world is so ugly now
Refrain ############################################################## 02. THE DOPE SHOW ############################################################## The drugs they say make us feel so hollow We love in vain narcissistic and so shallow The cops and queers to swim you have to swallow Hate today there's no love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
Refrain: There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones That want to get you high But all the pretty, pretty ones Will leave you low and blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say are made in California We love your face We'd really like to sell you The cops and queers make good-looking models I hate today Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
Refrain ############################################################## 03. MECHANICAL ANIMALS ############################################################## We were neurophobic and perfect the day that we lost our souls machines that wished they were human If they cry they will rust And I was a hand grenade That never stopped exploding You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god
Refrain: I am never gonna be the one for you I am never gonna save the world from you But they'll never be good for you Or bad to you They'll never be anything Anything at all
You were my mechanical bride You were phenobarbidoll A manniqueen of depression With the face of a dead star And I was a hand grenade That never stopped exploding You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god
Refrain
This isn't me I'm not mechanical I'm just a boy playing the suicide king ############################################################## 04. ROCK IS DEAD ############################################################## All simple monkeys with alien babies Amphetamines for boys Crucifixes for ladies Sampled and soulless Worldwide and real webbed You sell all the living For more safer dead
Anything to be loved
Refrain: Rock is deader than dead Shock is all in your head Your sex and your dope is all that were fed So fuck all your protests and put them to bed
God is on the T.V
1,000 mothers are praying for it We're so full of hope And so full of shit Build a new god to medicate and to ape Sell us ersatz dressed up and real fake
Anything to be loved
Refrain
God is on the T.V ############################################################## 05. DISASSOCIATIVE ############################################################## I can tell you what they say in space That our earth is too grey But when the spirit is so digital The body acts this way That world aws killing me That world was killing me Disassociative
The nervous systems down, the nervous systems down
I know
I can never get out of here I don't want to just float in fear A dead astronaut in space
Sometimes we walk like we were shot through our heads, my love We write our song in space like we are already dead and gone Your world was killing me Your world was killing me Disassociative Your world was killing me Your world was killing me Disassociative
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 I know ############################################################## 06. THE SPEED OF PAIN ############################################################## They slit our throats Like we were flowers And our milk has been devoured
When you want it It goes away too fast When you hate it It always seems to last But just remember when you think you're free The crack inside you fucking heart is me
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
I wish I could sleep But I can't lay on my back Because ther's a knife For everyday that I've known you
When you want it it goes away yoo fast When you hate it It always seems to last But just remember when you think you're free The crack inside your fucking heart is me
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
Lie to me, cry to me, give to me I would Lie with me, die with me, give to me I would Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair I hope at least we die holding hands for always ############################################################## 07. POSTHUMAN ############################################################## She's got eyes like Zapruder And a mouth like heroin She wants me to be perfect like Kennedy
Refrain: This isn't god, this isn't god God is just a statistic God is just a statistic Say "show me the dead stars All of them sing." This is a riot Religious and clean
God is a number you cannot count to You are posthuman and hardwired
She's pilgrim and pagan Softworn and so-cial In all of her dreams She's a saint like Jackie O
Refrain
All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold. ############################################################## 08. I WANT TO DISAPPEAR ############################################################## Look at me now I've got no religion Look at me now I'm so vacant Look at me now I was a virgin Look at me now grew up to be a whore And I want it I believe it I'm a million different things And not one you know
Refrain: Hey and our mommies are lost now Hey, daddy's someone else Hey, we love the abuse Because it makes us feel like we are needed now But I know I wanna disappear
I wanna die young and sell my soul Use up all your drugs and make me come Yesterday man, I was a nihilist and now today I'm too fucking bored by the time I'm old enough I won't know anything at all
Refrain ############################################################## 09. I DON'T LIKE THE DRUGS
( BUT THE DRUGS LIKE ME ) ############################################################## Norm life baby we're white and oh so hetero and our sex is missionary. Norm life baby 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
Norm life baby our god is white and unforgiving we're piss tested and we're praying Norm life baby I'm just a sample of a soul made to look just like a human being.
Norm life baby "we're rehabbed and we're ready dor our 15 minutes of shame." Norm life baby "we're talkshown and we're poiting 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 ############################################################## 10. NEW MODEL NO. 15 ############################################################## I'm as fake as e wedding cake And I'm Vague and I know that I'm homopolitan Pitifully predictable Correctly political
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model I've got nothing inside Better in the head and in bed At the office I can suck and I smile New, new, new model
I can choke and diet on coke I'm Spun and I know That I'm Stoned and Rolling
Lifelike and poseable Hopeless and disposable
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model I've got nothing inside Better in the head and in bed At the office I can suck and I smile New, new, new model
Don't let them know how far you go Or that you use you "lovers" Oh look, you're like a VCR Stick something in to know Just who you are you
New, new, new model ############################################################## 11. USER FRIENDLY ############################################################## 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 She says "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 Deleted 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 She says "I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you 'til somebody better comes along." ############################################################## 12. FUNDAMENTALLY LOATHSOME ############################################################## I want to wake up in your white, white sun I want to wake up in your world with no pain But I'll just suffer in a hope to die someday While you are numb all of the way
When you hate it you know you can feel but When you love it you know it's not real No And I am resigned to this wicked fucking world On its way to hell The living are dead and I hope to join them too I know what to do and I di it well..
When you hate it you know you can feel but When you love it you know it's not real No
Shoot myself to love you If I loved myself I'd be shooting you ############################################################## 13. THE LAST DAY ON EARTH ############################################################## 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 I crack and split my xerox hands
Refrain: 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 We'll never say goodbye
The dogs slaughter each other softly Love burns it's casualties We are damaged provider modules Spill the seeds at our children's feet I'm so empty here without you I know they want me dead
Refrain ############################################################## 14. COMA WHITE ############################################################## Something is cold and blank behind her smile She's standing on an overpass In her miracle mile You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away
Refrain: A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb 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 Lost all her dolls You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away
Refrain ##############################################################
