Hysteria
in this after school special
the children never make it home
hysteria
red skies and mushroom clouds
hysteria
no way to go from here
21st century armageddon is near
21st century armageddon is here
panic! panic! panic!
relentless black mass hysteria
panic! panic! panic!
armageddon till the break of dawn
godspeed you tortured soul
broken, bruised and beaten
riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicide
go write your eulogy in blood
on all of the bathroom walls
constantly cursed and denied
please have mercy on me master
you're my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake
your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever was
manic! manic! manic!
maniacal megalomaniac
manic! manic! manic!
sadistic, thoughtless amnesiac
godspeed you tortured soul
broken, bruised and beaten
riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicide
do you remember what you said
when you were speaking to the dead?
constantly cursed and denied
please have mercy on me master
you're my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake
your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever was
bombs away
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
(yeah, floating in limbo)
hysteria
red skies and mushroom clouds
hysteria
no way to go from here
do you remember what you said
when you were speaking to the dead?
please have mercy on me master
your my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake
your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever was
dead valley, summer swelter
desert sun and helter skelter
good night, sleep well my love
there's nothing left to die for
in death I am eternal
and one day will arrive
and shine the homeward beacon
to be reborn into the light!
the children never make it home
hysteria
red skies and mushroom clouds
hysteria
no way to go from here
21st century armageddon is near
21st century armageddon is here
panic! panic! panic!
relentless black mass hysteria
panic! panic! panic!
armageddon till the break of dawn
godspeed you tortured soul
broken, bruised and beaten
riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicide

and the walls are closing in
