In space the stars are no nearer They just glitter like a morgue And I dreamed I was a spaceman Burned like a moth in a flame And our world was so fucking gone
But I'm not attached to you now Nothing heals and nothing grows
Because it's a great big white world and we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves, we used to love another All my stiches itch My prescription's low, I wish you were queen just for today In a world so white what else could I say?
And hell was so cold All the vases are so broken And the roses tear our hands all open Mother marry miscarry And we pray just like insects The world is so ugly now
Because it's a great big white world and we are drained of our colors [chorus repeat]
