Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals Lyrics
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 f*cking gone
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 Marry miscarry
But we pray just like insects
And 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
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?
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
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 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, no love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
[Chorus:]
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
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
[x2]
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?
[Chorus]
[x2]
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
[Chorus]
They'll blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show

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
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
I am never gonna be the one for you
[chorus repeat]
This isn't me I'm not mechanical
I'm just a boy playing the suicide king

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 f*ck all your protests and put them to bed
God is in the TV
Rock! La, la, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la
One thousand 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 f*ck all your protests and put them to bed
God is in the TV
Rock! La, la, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la, la
Rock! La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed
Rock (rock) is deader than dead
Shock (shock) is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So f*ck all your protests and put them to bed

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
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

The Speed of Pain
They slit our throats like we were flowers
And our milk has been devoured
When you want 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 f*cking 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
'Cause there's a knife for every day that I've known you
When you want 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 f*cking 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 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
Hope that we die holding hands, always
Hope that we die holding hands, always
Hope that we die holding hands

Posthuman
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 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
God is just a statistic
[chorus repeat]
[Coma white:]
"All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold."

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
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 f*cking bored by the time I'm old enough
I won't know anything at all
Hay, and our mommies are lost now
[chorus repeat]

I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)
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
We're raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
We're 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
"Our God is white and unforgiving
And 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
We're raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
We're 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"
"There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope
And we're feeling fine"
"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 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 (drugs)
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs (drugs)
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs (drugs)
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs (drugs)
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
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

New Model No. 15
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
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
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
Pitifully predictable
Correctly political
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
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
New, new, new model-model-model
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
New, new, new model

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 f*cking 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 f*ck you
'til somebody better comes along."
Use me like I was a whore
Relationships are such a bore
Deleted the ones that you've f*cked
User friendly f*cking 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 f*ck you
'til somebody better comes along."

Fundamentally Loathsome
And I wanna wake up in your white, white sun
And I wanna 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
When I hate it, I know I can feel
But when you love, you know it's not real
And I'm resigned to this wicked f*cking world
On its way to hell
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
When I hate it, I know I can feel
But when you love, you know it's not real, wow
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself, I'd be shooting you
Yeah, shoot myself to love you

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
And 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
And 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
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
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

Coma White
There's something cold and blank
Behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
'Cause 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
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, 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
