Lyrics for 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 fucking gone I'm not attached to your world Nothing heals and nothing grows I'm not attached to your world Nothing heals and nothing grows 'Cause 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 And the world is so ugly now 'Cause 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? 'Cause 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?
