Mechanical Animals

[Verse 1]

We were neurophobic and perfect

The day that we lost our souls

Maybe we weren't so human

But if we cry, we will rust

[Pre-Chorus]

And I was a hand grenade

That never stopped exploding

You were automatic

And as hollow as the 'O' in god

[Chorus]

I'm never gonna be the one for you

I'm never gonna save the world from you

[Post-Chorus]

They'll never be good to you, bad to you

They'll never be anything, anything at all

[Verse 2]

You were my mechanical bride

Phenobarbidoll

A manniqueen of depression

With the face of a dead star

[Pre-Chorus]

And I was a hand grenade

That never stopped exploding

You were automatic

And as hollow as the 'O' in god

[Chorus]

I'm never gonna be the one for you

I'm never gonna save the world from you

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I'm never gonna be the one for you

I'm never gonna save the world from you

[Bridge]

This isn't me, I'm not mechanical

I'm just a boy playing the suicide king

Yeah!

[Outro]

Playing the suicide king

Playing the suicide king

(I'm just a boy) Playing the suicide king

(I'm just a boy) Playing the suicide king

(I'm just a boy) Playing the suicide king

(I'm just a boy) Playing the suicide king
