Suicide Ego Songtext

the faint applause, is deafening

the girl with the hat, too drunk to stand, is on the floor now

too late to begin negotiations--the deal is done

and there is nowhere to run, hon'



in the madness of the suicide ego

there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere

in the last dumb act of the hero

where is he now?


I close my eyes, and look for Heaven

or entertain a postcard from Hell

don't you worry, `cause these are only times when you find out what you're made of

if you care



in the madness of the suicide ego

there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere

and here's the curse that makes you hungry

and where is it now?



what's next?



you know, I couldn't have said it better

they put the nail right through my head



here's the madness of the suicide ego

there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere

feed me now, I'm getting hungry

case improves...and gimme time--to make up



here's the sliver in your helpin' hand

you can have it all if you wanna live forever

here comes the man with the gun in the tower

and it's about time...
