Will turn to laughter

Forever after

In your technicolor heartbeat

Sweet charity



Save me

The heavens have opened

And I'm alone

Sweet charity



Save me

The heavens have opened

I'm coming home

Sweet charity



Save me

The asylums have opened

I'm coming home

Sweet charity



I'm home free...

In simulation jubilation

For the deceased...



Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws

Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws



With my machines I can dispatch you

From this world without a trace

Our no
