Lyrics

Cast your ideals onto me

And I'll show you what you really need Give too much attention And I'll reflect your imperfections

Can't you see it's over Because you're the god Of a shrinking universe

Purposeless survival Now there's nothing left to die for So don't struggle to recognise Now the cruelly heart-felt suicide

Can't you see it's over Because you're the god Of a shrinking universe

Aaah...

Can't you see it's over Because you're the god

Of a shrinking universe

Early live version

Cast your ideals onto me 
And I'll show you what you really need 
Give me some attention
And I'll hide your imperfections

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Purposeless survival 
Now there's nothing left to die for 
So don't struggle to recognise 
Another heart-felt, coldly suicide

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Aaah...

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god 
Of a shrinking universe
