Lyrics

Get the motherfucking thing set
Then let's go
I walked alone, thinking of death
A thousand doomed galaxies
Exploded over my head
The thought of all
The things I'd done
A thousand new galaxies
Had only just begun
Why am I?
Why am I?
I walked alone, thinking of pain
I thought of all the galaxies suffering in vain
I thought of joy, and I thought of happiness
I thought a thousand galaxies
Would rot with emptiness
Why am I?
Why am I?
Written by: Michael Ivins, Steven Drozd, Wayne Coyne
