Speed Of Pain

(album: Mechanical Animals - 1998)

They slit our throats
Like we were flowers
And our milk has been devoured

When you want it
goes away too fast
Times you hate it
always seem to last.
Just remember when you think you're free.
The crack inside your fucking heart is me.

(I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day.
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day)

I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
'Cause there's a knife
For every day that I've known you.

When you want it
goes away too fast
Times you hate it
always seem to last.
Just remember when you think you're free.
The crack inside your fucking heart is me.

(I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day.
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day)

Lie to me, cry to me, give to me
I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me
I would
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair always
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair always

Lie to me, cry to me, give to me
I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me
I would

Hope that we die holding hands
Always
Hope that we die holding hands
Always
Hope that we die holding hands
Always

I hope at least we die holding hands for always
