Hysteria

In this after school special

The children never make it home

Hysteria

Red skies and mushroom clouds

Hysteria

No way 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

On all of 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's 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's far more poisonous

And deadlier

Than he ever was

Bombs away

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

(Yeah, floating in limbo)

Hysteria

Red skies and mushroom clouds

Hysteria

No way to go from here

Do you remember what you said

When you were speaking to the dead?

Please have mercy on me master

Your my only friend

And the walls are closing in

Sinking deeper into

Hopeless oblivion

Shy away the snake

Your virtue's far more poisonous

And deadlier

Than he ever was

Dead valley, summer swelter

Desert sun and helter skelter

Good night, sleep well my love

There's nothing left to die for

In death I am eternal

And one day will arrive

And shine the homeward beacon

To be reborn into the light!
