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 
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 
The world is so ugly now 
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 
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?

. . .



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 
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 
Who want to 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 
Who 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 
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 
Who want to get you high 
But all the pretty, pretty ones 
Will leave you low 
And blow your mind 
They'll blow your mind 
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 
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 
But they'll never be good to you 
Or bad to you 
They'll never be anything 
Anything at all 
You were my mechanical bride 
Phenobarbidoll 
A manniqueen of depression 
With the face of a dead star 
And I was a hand grenade 
That never stopped exploding 
You 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 
But they'll never be good to you 
Or bad to you 
They'll never be anything 
Anything at all 
This isn't me I'm not mechanical 
I'm just a boy 
Playing the suicide king 

. . .



All simple monkeys with alien babies 
Amphetamines for boys 
And 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 the we're fed 
So fuck all your protests and 
Put them bed 
God is the tv 
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 the we're fed 
So fuck all your protests and 
Put them bed 
God is the tv 
Rock is deader than dead 
Shock is all in your head 
Your sex and your dope is all the we're fed 
So fuck all your protests and 
Put them to bed

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 
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 
Sometimes we walk like 
We were shot through 
Our heads, my love 
We write a 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 
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, 
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

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 
(thought, not spoken): 
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 
Because there's a knife 
For everyday that I've known you 
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 
(thought, not spoken): 
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 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 
I would 
Lie with me, die with me, give to me 
I would 
I hope that we die holding hands 
for always 
I hope that we die holding hands 
for always 
I hope that we die holding hands

She's got eyes like zapruder 
And a mouth like heroin 
She wants me to be 
Perfect like Kennedy 
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 orion 
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 
God is just a statistic, 
God is just a statistic 
Say, show me the dead stars, 
All of them sing 
This is a orion 
Religious and clean 
(Coma White): 
All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold 


. . .



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 a 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 
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 
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 
But I know 
I wanna disappear

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me 
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs 
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 
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me 
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs 
Norm life baby: 
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 
For our 15 minutes of shame. 
Norm life baby: 
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 
And we're feeling fine. 
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 
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 it and 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 it and smile 
New 
New 
New model 
Pitifully predictable 
Correctly political 
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 
Just who you are 
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 it and smile 
New 
New 
New model



. . .



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 
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 
She says, 
I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you 
'til somebody better comes along. 


. . .



I want to wake up in your 
White, white sun 
And 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 
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 do it well... 
When I hate it I know I can feel but 
When you love you know it's not real 
No 
Shoot myself to love you 
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 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 
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 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 


. . .



There's something cold and blank behind her smile 
She's standing on an overpass 
In her miracle mile 
(coma): 
You were from a perfect world 
A world that threw me away 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 
And she was waiting to fall 
Just bleeding like a polaroid that
Lost all her dolls 
(coma): 
You were from a perfect world 
A world that threw me away 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 



. . .



At the end
I became them
And I led them
After all none of us really qualified as humans
We were just hardworn, automatic
And as hollow as the "O" in god
I reattached my emotions
Cellular narcotic
From the top of hollywood
It looked like space
Millions of capsules
The Mechanical Animals
A city filled with dead stars
A girl I called coma white
This is my Omega
