Well I survived the great rapture
I got stuck here in the afterlife
floating along the Dead Sea
and I tried soul-saving elixirs
drank too much, wound up addicted
and if the ship left, then I'll just enjoy the beach
I was so concerned with the reaction
that I came down with space madness
and I think I'm as happy as I'll be
and with your animated wings
you feel the wind before the breeze
and everything you say is of concern
and those who are condemned
you are no demigod to them
and you said you felt the rush
but only on the surface I'm afraid
I'm winding down from my last dosage
I need something to indulge in
so I found some dancer and her eyes
and I reminisced around the cosmos
and I live life through the window
could you please see what you can in me
'cause there's no penance in my shame
I see new hope in your clichés
I'm too short in what I'm giving in return
so leave me with a kiss
don't let my head read into it
and you said you felt my touch
but only on the surface I'm afraid
you're not what you say you are
my beloved son I know you're not the only one
can you feel the fever in sterile sounds
and you may win some but you lose most in the end
and could you really say that you let go for good
and with those saturated thrills
I find my true self in the pills
all my friends are all just blank slates in the room
and it seems we never think
could we deserve to become extinct
and it's all a bit too much
I'm dying on the surface I'm afraid
