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 The others stood there silent As I dealt out peace of mind Shut me up Shut me down Try me if you can My love, I'll show you nothing I'm a misanthropic man This is the journey To the edge of the night I've got no companions Only Celine on my side I 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 tell you nothing I'm a misanthropic man The sky is empty / silent The Earth still as stone So nothing stands above me Now I can sleep alone
