here is no why

The useless drag of another day


The endless drags of a death rock boy

Mascara sure and lipstick lost

Glitter burned by restless thoughts

Of being forgotten



And in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Desperate and displeased - with whoever you are

And you're a star



Somewhere - he pulls his hair down - over a frowning smile

A hidden diamond you cannot find

A secret star that cannot shine over to you



May the king of gloom be forever doomed

And in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Burning up in speed

Lost inside your dreams, of teen machines



The useless drags, the empty days

The lonely towers of long mistakes

To forgotten faces and faded loves

Sitting still was never enough



And if you're giving in, you're giving up

'cause in your sad machines

You'll forever stay

Burning up in speed

Lost inside the dreams of teen machines
