Fan Letter Songtext
von Michael Gira

And the violence in my insides
Is glowing and malignant
And the only way to stop it
Is to cut a hole and
Let the fresh air come in

And your public face is dripping
Now, you′re famous and you're beautiful
But I can still remember
When your mouth was always open
Like a stairway leading down to Hell

Now, your perfect body′s shining
And the camera's always circling
And the boys and girls are dreaming
And your naked body's bleeding
Where the dogs have ripped away your skin

And the world is always shrinking
And my mind is disappearing
In the holy adulation
Of your all-inclusive open arms


And feeling penitential
I′m cutting off my finger
And I′m faxing you the image
Via omnipresent electricity

And the communists were torturing
A sacred man and woman
Whose screams flew out the window
And through the Himalayas

Then, changed into a butterfly
And drifted through the wind
And landed on a street in Paris
Where you crushed it underneath your high-heeled fin

Now, I'm killing and I′m stealing
And I'm raping and I′m burning
And I'm feeling kinda magic
Due to mental enervation

So I′ll send my mind into the
Hard body of a rock star
And maybe then, you'll fuck me
'Cause five million people love me
And you wanna suck my energy


Yeah, this world is made of losers
But I wanna be a winner
I′ll do anything it takes
To hypnotize the upturned faces
Into trusting me completely
So they′ll need me to supply
The object that will fill the emptiness that was created
By repetition of an image
And a sound they recognize
And their malleable identities
Will be sexually excited
By the product which I will then provide

And this planet keeps on drifting
Through a thick and viscous blackness
Every pleasure, every weakness
Will come true before we're finished

And I′m lying in my bed
And my hands are getting bloody
And I'm thinking I can save you
From the phony world you live in

And maybe then, you′ll hide me
Deep inside your perfect body
And I'll melt into the glistening
Flawless contours of your immortal flesh

Now, you′re mine
Yeah, you're mine
Yeah, you're mine
Now, you′re mine
Now, you′re mine
Now, you're mine
