Lyrics for 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 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'm never gonna be the one for you I'm never gonna save the world from you They'll never be good to you, bad to you They'll never be anything Anything at all You were my mechanical bride A Pheno-Barbie-Doll 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'm never gonna be the one for you I'm never gonna save the world from you They'll never be good to you, bad to you They'll never be anything Anything at all They'll never be good to you, bad to you They'll never be anything Anything at all I'm never gonna be the one for you I'm never gonna save the world from you This isn't me, I'm not mechanical I'm just a boy playing the Suicide King Yeah Playing the Suicide King Playing the Suicide King Playing the Suicide King Playing the Suicide King Playing the Suicide King Playing the Suicide King
