    G#maj7
The useless drag of another day
                                   D#
The endless drags of a death rock boy
    G#maj7
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
                             D#
Glitter burned by restless thoughts
   C#         G#
Of being forgotten

Chorus:
F            G#    D#
And in your sad machines
F         G#    D#
You'll forever stay
F    G#           D#
Desperate and displeased
       C#        G#maj7
With whoever you are
             G#maj7 D#
And you're a star

Somewhere
He pulls his hair down over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine
Over to you

C       C#       G#
May the king of gloom
C    C#       D#
Be forever doomed

Chorus:
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams
Of teen machines

G#maj7
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough

And if you're giving in
Then you're giving up

Chorus:
'Cause in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams
Of teen machines
