Description
B-side that was rarely played live. It was played at least twice before Origin of Symmetry was released though.
Slightly similar arpeggios to Stockholm Syndrome and Bliss.
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
