Here Is No Why

Original Lyrics

The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts
Of being forgotten
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
And you’re a star
Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine over to you
May the king of gloom, be forever doomed
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough
And if you’re giving in, then you’re giving up
Cause in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

Lyrics: live 1996/05/15

The useless drag of another day

The endless drags of a death rock boy

Mascara sure and lipstick lost

Glitter burned by restless thoughts

Of being forgotten

And in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Desperate and displeased-with whoever you are

And you're a star

Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile

A hidden diamond you cannot find

A secret star that cannot shine over to you

May the king of gloom, be forever doomed

And in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Burning up in speed

Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

The useless drags, the empty days

The lonely towers of long mistakes

To forgotten faces and faded loves

Sitting still was never enough

And if you're giving in, then you're giving up

Cause in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Burning up in speed

Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
