In this after-school special
The children never make it home
Hysteria
Red skies and mushroom clouds
Hysteria
Nowhere 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
All over 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 is 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 is far more poisonous
And deadlier than he ever was
Bombs away
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Floating in limbo
Hysteria
Red skies and mushroom clouds
Hysteria
Nowhere to go from here
Do you remember what you said
When you were speaking to the dead
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 is far more poisonous
And deadlier than he ever was
Death valley summer swelter
Desert sun and helter skelter
Goodnight, sleep well my love
there's nothing left to die for
In death I am eternal
And one day it will arrive
To shine a homeward beacon
To be reborn into the light
