1. Great Big White World


In space the stars are no nearer
Just glitters like a morgue
And I dreamed I was a spaceman
Burned like a moth in a flame
And our world was so fucking gone
I´m not attached to your world
Nothing heals, nothing grows
I´m not attached to your world
Nothing heals, nothing grows
Cuz 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
All my stitches 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 mary miscarry
But we pray just like insects
And the world is so ugly now
Cuz 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
All my stitches itch
My prescription´s low
I wish you were queen just for today
All my stitches itch
My prescription´s low
I wish you were queen just for today
In a world so white what else could I say
Cuz 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
All my stitches itch
My prescription´s low
I wish you were queen just for today
All my stitches itch
My prescription´s low
I wish you were queen just for today
In a world so white what else could I say



2. The Dope Show


The Drugs they say
Make us feel so hollow
We love in vain
Narcissistic and so shallow
Cops and queers
To swim you have to swallow
Hate today
No love for tomorrow
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
That wanna get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
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
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?
There´s lots of pretty, pretty ones
That wanna 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
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
That wanna get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
Blow blow your mind
We´re all stars now in the dope show
We´re all stars now in the dope show



3. Mechanical Animals


We were neurophobic and perfect
The day that we lost our souls
Maybe we weren´t so human
But if we cry we will rust
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and 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
They´ll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They´ll never be anything
Anything at all
You were my mechanical bride
A 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
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
They´ll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They´ll never be anything
Anything at all
They´ll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They´ll never be anything
Anything at all
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
This isn´t me I´m not mechanical
I´m just a boy playing the suicide king
Yeah(scream)
Playing the suicide king
Playing the suicide king
I´m just a boy
Playing the suicide king
I´m just a boy
Playing the suicide king
I´m just a boy
Playing the suicide king
I´m just a boy
Playing the suicide king



4. 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 belong
Anything to belong
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we´re fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed
God is in the T.V.
Rock
Rock
Rock
Rock
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 belong
Anything to belong
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we´re fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed
God is on the T.V. God is in the T.V.
Rock
Rock
Rock
Rock
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we´re fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we´re fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed



5. 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 was killing me
That world was killing me
Disassociative
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
I know
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
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don´t want to just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
Sometimes we walk like we were shot through our heads, my love
We write our song in space like we´re already dead and gone
Your world was killing me
World was killing me
Disassociative
Your world was killing me
World was killing me
Disassociative
I can never get out of here
I don´t want to just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don´t want to just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
4,3,2,1
I can never get out of here
I don´t want to just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don´t want to just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space



6. 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
Times you hate it
It always seems to last
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
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
I wish I could sleep
But I can´t lay on my back
There´s a knife
For everyday that I´ve known you
When you want it
It goes away too fast
Times you hate it
Always seem to last
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
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 the secrets wrapped in dead hair
Always keep all the secrets wrapped in dead hair
Always lie to me, cry to me, give to me
I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me
I would
Hope that we die holding hands
Always hope that we die holding hands
Always hope that we die holding hands



7. Posthuman


She´s got eyes like Zapruder
A mouth like heroin
She wants me to be perfect like Kennedy
This isn´t god, this isn´t god
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
This isn´t god, this isn´t god
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
Show me the dead stars all of them sing
This is a riot
Religious and clean
God is a number you cannot count to
God is a number you cannot count to
God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired
"All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold"
"All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold"
"All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold"
Say "Show me the dead stars all of them sing"
This is a riot
Religious and clean
Show me the dead stars all of them sing
This is a riot
Religious and clean



8. I Want to Dissapear


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
Not one you know
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
But I know
I wanna disappear
Disappear
I wanna disappear
Disappear baby
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 just too fucking bored
And I want it
I believe it
And I want it
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
And I know
I wanna disappear
Disappear
I wanna disappear baby
Disappear
Now children it´s time for recess
Please roll up your sleeves
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
And I know
I wanna disappea

10. New Model


I´m as fake as a wedding cake
And I´m Vague and I know that I´m homopolitan

Better in the head
And in bed at the office
I can suck and I smile

I´ve got nothing inside
Better in the head
And in bed at the office
I can suck and I smile

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 I hate it I know I can feel but
When you love you know it´s not real
When I hate it I know I can feel but
When you love you know it´s not real
Now 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 do it well
When I hate it I know I can feel but
When you love you know it´s not real
When I hate it I know I can feel but
When you love you know it´s not real
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I´d be shooting you
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 you
I crack my xerox hands
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
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
Mechanical Voice: I know it´s the last day on earth
Mechanical Voice: We´ll be together while the planet dies
Mechanical Voice: I know it´s the last day on earth
Mechanical Voice: We´ll never say goodbye
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
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
We´ll never say goodbye
We´ll never say goodbye



14. Coma White


There´s something cold and blank behind her smile
She´s standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
Cuz you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today, Today to run away
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
She was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a polaroid
That lost all her dolls
Cuz you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today, Today to run away
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
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
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
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
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
