First I shut down the stars because You said they ruled us Then I took out Mars He was the cruelest His lover followed suit By way of suicide And the others stood there silent As I dealt out peace of mind Shut me up Shut me down Stop me if you can My love, I'll show you nothing I'm a misanthropic man Shut me up Shut me down Stop me if you can My love, I'll show you nothing I'm a misanthropic man Shut me up Shut me down Stop me if you can My love, I'm less than nothing I'm a misanthropic man This is a journey To the edge of the night I've got no companions Only Celine's on my side Don't need nothing from no-one The needle's in the red Nothing to lose Everything's dead Shut me up Shut me down Stop me if you can My love, I'll show you nothing I'm a misanthropic man Shut me up Shut me down Stop me if you can My love, I'm less than nothing I'm a misanthropic man The sky is empty/silent The earth as still as stone Nothing stands above me Now I can sleep alone
