The Narcissist lyrics

Man with no remembered past

Fast, frozen and fancy-free

Basing his life on the present

Its fads and its fopperies

Floating with the current on a raft all alone

Gone with the flow, all of history

He found a cure for the world:

He made the world go away

He made the world go away

He made the world go away

A tender infant voice within

Screams at its first betrayal

Mother's black beak stabbing through time

Man with no more future-faith

Trapped like a rat in his personal space

Nonplussed by the real life that passes before his eyes

Slumped on the sticky-sweet popcorn seat

Watching movies of the world's demise

He found a cure for the world:

He made the world go away

He made the world go away

He made the world go away

Cataracts spread like rot, breaking the threads of sight

Colors and shapes scatter the light through your eyes

Hours and days flow vaguely by

Life at the top of the food chain

A gradual death to the pleasures of the flesh

Dropping pounds and dripping fat

From a decade of treatments and sauna baths

They found a cure for the world:

They made the world go away

They made the world go away

We made the world go away

Let's make the world go away

Please make the world go away

Just make the world go away
