Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So long sittin' here, didn't hear the warning
Waitin' for the tape to run
We've been screwin' around in different situations
Knowin' that the time would come
[Verse 2]
Just to see you torn apart
Witness to your empty heart
I need it, I need it, I need it
[Verse 3]
Through the widescreen, the eyes of those standing outside
Looked in at her, as into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo
In the hand of one of the assistants, she saw the same instrument
And the same had that morning, inserted deep into her body
She shuddered instinctively
No life at all in the house of dolls
No love lost, no love lost
[Verse 4]
You've been seein' things in darkness, not in learning
Hoping that the truth will pass
No life, underground, wasting, never changing
Wishing that this day won't last
[Verse 5]
Tonight we'll see you show your age
To watch until the beauty fades
I need it, I need it, I need it
