But I will cry alone in darkness just for me
I can't sigh for the world
But I will breathe deep and exhale
So I don't explode
In red blotches of fear and angst in mortal terror
For I can't scream for the world
But my silent rage will bleed in black and white shrieks
Speaking volumes in denial and pain
I can see the rain and the mud
I can dance and sing, wet and bloody in ignorant mime
Despite the death and carnage around me
Tomorrow my day will come without a courtesy call
They will plant me like a wilted yellow stink flower
Forgotten in the trash heap of time
And the world will go on in oblivious spite
Without a word or a prayer
Regardless of the tears and righteous anger
The nights of uncertainty and erotic wonder
Harbored within my cold, black heart
In music I will lift myself flying a little higher
Before the inevitable disastrous fall
A glorious, brief respite
Tumbling from a precipice into the yawning abyss
Laughing deadly serious on the way down
Into the grave I paid for on credit
That is all that remains
Everything that really matters
In a mad world of nothingness and sorrow
Of this I am certain
Get yourself on the dance floor
Borrow some fancy clothes before you die
Alone at last call you still can boogie for that song
Shaking your ass of bitter solitude
There are places that still play death disco
And Bee Gees tunes
And Bee Gees tunes...
What you doin' in YOUR bed?
