lyrics

These starving hysterical streets where everyone panics
Well in goes the Starfucker, a disgrace
And he opens his abyssal maw and generates a sing-along
Making the world golden and so so yellow
And he sings raw madness too a million girls in an ear splitting sigh
The very sound of suicidal machinery on turpentine
The very sound of this nuclear age throwing the first stone
And his angel-headed disciples follow him through neon-lit streets
And through to the chaos that is lit below

And the night is lost too a drug addled dawn
Which is filled with hundreds of staggering angels
Who follow the Starfucker maddened through subways
As he continues to sing, freeing that voice that lays dormant within
And the eyes of his followers light up in a heavenly beauty
As they are dragged along
And his song grows and grows
Until he's just wailing and screaming in a desperate panic
As he chokes on the truth
As he chokes on the lies
And everyone reaches out screaming in desperation
Just too make the Starfucker stop
As he spits out prophecies of their demise
Millions of people screaming and hollering
Suddenly unable to stand the Starfucker's song
And they shove and they push trying to reach him
To stop this sing-along of a pre-destined future
A nightmarish envisagment of reality
And buried under limbs the Starfucker closes his mouth
And the world chokes on pieces of him

Like rats on a sinking ship
Only the captain goes down
Down, down, down

Like rats

And the world awoke, hungover drunk
Headache creeping from their ears
And the Starfucker laid scattered
Like a fallen prophet
And all the kings horses and all the kings men
They just couldn't put the Starfucker back again
