All hail to love and love is hell
The self can only love itself
All hail to love and love is hell

Self-help and self-aware
Self-made millionaire
Turn it up and tone it down
Entertain like a fucking clown

Self-image and self-belief
Selfish acts between the sheets
Self has no sense of tact
Self is too self-detached

We are self, the self that loves itself now
We are self, I only see myself now

Self absorbed and self obsessed
If not me then someone else
Self sees a billion stars
But still can only self regard

We are self, the self that loves itself now
We are self, I only see myself now

I am the universe

Will you help me gather my thoughts?
Will you help me find the transitions I forgot?
Can you be me for a moment?
Live inside me
And see the world the way it always looks to me

When you're moving through a photograph
You're faster than most, you're bloody King Ghost
But you're kind of wasted
And I wish I'd waited
For you
To come to

King Ghost hold me
Like I was your only memory

See that's what I'm talking about
You can wash away the dirt
But you can't wash away the failure
You'd better take your meds
Get out of bed
And pay me some attention

King Ghost hold me
Like I was your only memory

I forgot what it was that I was
There was a time when I had some ambition
Now I just seem to have inhibitions

Forget what I said
'bout acting on all the plans that I made
Now I just sit in the corner complaining
Making out things were best in the 80's

Cos I forgot
There's so many things that I pretend to you I'm not
Something I lost
And I know what it meant to you
I know what it meant to you
What I said to you
Is crossing the line and you'll never begin to forget

I forgot what it was that I'm not
You can protest that I can't make commitments
But it don't seem to make any difference
Forget what I've done
To all of the people that gave me their love
Well I have no problem with sleeping at night
I've done wrong but I just don't remember

Cos I forgot
There's so many things that I pretend to you I'm not
Something I lost
And I know what it meant to you
I know what it meant to you
What I said to you
Is crossing the line and you'll never begin to forget

Me, I'm a bona fide reptile
The closer I get to the dark
The sharper the suit that I'm wearing, yeah

Cos it's never ending
No it's never ending
It's always pretending
Cos it's never ending

And my smile, sincerely a lie
I got designs to hypnotise
I won't try to disguise I'm a sinner
Because...

It's never ending yeah
It's never ending yeah
The rules keep on bending yeah
Cos it's never ending yeah

I turn on the charm and you're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny, you give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and you hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and... and I seduce your sister

Two faces and friends in high places
I got the sleaze in my teeth
When I move I'm slick
Nothing ever sticks to me

It's never ending yeah
It's never ending yeah
The rules keep on bending yeah
It's never ending yeah

I turn on the charm and you're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny, you give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and you hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and... and I seduce your sister

Keep on pretending yeah
It's all just pretending yeah
Rules keep on bending yeah
So just keep on spending yeah

I turn on the charm and you're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny, you give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and you hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and... and I seduce your sister

Trust, you know how to take it
Love, you know how to fake it

And I will be there beside you
The camera eye, the drug is just to be near you

Hey, well I can take rejection
Hey, what does it take to get your attention?
Cos you're a man of the people
A man of the people
And I'm just part of the plan

I lie here like a dog
And think of all I would undo
Anyone would go
But I got nowhere to go to

And what is left of us?
Now there's only the cinders
Ambition froze me out
Like a demonic winter

Hey, well I can take rejection
Hey, what does it take to get your attention?
Cos you're a man of the people
A man of the people
And I'm just part of the plan

Hush now, the winter gets you
Hush now, the winter gets you down

Have now, have now, pay in another life
Kickstart the future, accept this loan
Fill in the form, you're pre-qualified
You're now the sum of what you own

Buy now, buy now, have a better life
Close out transactions without remorse
Apply for credit, it's your given right
Buy it all then buy some more

Buy for comfort, buy for kicks
Buy and buy until it makes you sick
Buy for England, buy it all
Buy online and in the shopping mall
Sell it on then buy it back
Buy the shit you never knew you lacked
Buy the update to compete
Buy the things that make your life complete

Consumer of life, hold my hand, extend your rights
It's the power to purchase to excess
That sets you apart and can give you the ultimate high

Abuser of time, if there's something that you want
You don't need it, but have to concede it's making you happy
And that's all that matters to you

Buy the box set and the kind of stuff
You've bought before a million times
Buy in green, buy in blue
Buy in patterns cos I tell you to
Buy the dream, buy the spin
Feel the bite down of the trap you're in
Buy the lies that I tell
Lap up everything I'm here to sell

Buy now, buy now, at a better price
Give in to excess, lose control
Just keep on spending, never compromise
Rack up more debt and fill that hole

Buy for comfort, buy for kicks
Buy and buy until it makes you sick
Buy for England, buy it all
Buy online and in the shopping mall
Sell it on then buy it back
Buy the shit you never knew you lacked
Buy the update to compete
Buy the things that make your life complete

Wind up the bull with a red rag
Wake up the belligerent throwback
Oh, follow me follow me

I move like a fever inside you
Make you believe what I want to
Oh, follow me follow me

It's OK to hammer and kick now
I'll be a virtual brick through your window
Oh, follow me follow me

Lash out, well don't you feel good now?
Shut up, well I think that you should now
Oh, follow me follow me

Future biting
Millions spiting
Too much time boy
Too much everything

Do I wanna be fucked like you are?
Do I wanna have a body like yours now?
Oh, follow me follow me

Do I wanna have friends like you have?
Do I wanna have a life like you do?
Oh, follow me follow me

Future biting
Millions spiting
Too much time boy
Too much everything

Rule you with my love
Even if I'll hang for it
If I could die right now
For anything it would be this

I'm always outside
I'm always out of my mind

Breath of monsters now
Raining down where I begin
If I could die right now
For anything it would be this

Always outside
Always out of my mind

And did I really care?
Did I believe the words I spoke?
Was I even there?
Did I disappear in spoke?

Always outside
Always out of my mind
