Nothing Is True
You get nothin' back for all you've savedJust eternity and a spacious graveShe said, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"Things just go from bad to worseStarts like a kiss and ends like a curseBut nothing's true, she said everything is permittedShe got jewels on her tongue to time the starsShe drives all morning in unmarked carsBut nothing's true, it is all permittedShe got these special tools just to keep things tightThey robbed her eyes long ago of lightBut nothing's true, she told me it's all permittedShe got inscrutable poise and nihilist charmsShe gets her sleep through tubes in her armShe said nothing is true, she said everything is permittedShe nods on graves, the marble's cold and white,Her dreams surround the sun like a satelliteShe said nothin' is true, she told me it's all permittedSongtexteThe spiders [milk?] her thigh, it does not phase herShe cleans her skin with a krypton laserNothing is true, everything is permittedShe got heels so high, she got a gown so thinHer eyes stop the whip before it tames her sinShe says nothin' is true, everything is permittedUntil they perfect the techniques to cloneYou all better remember you're all aloneBecause nothing is true, she said everything is permitted Aus Songtexte Mania
