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 [bad word] gone
But I’m not attached to your world 
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 one another 
All my stitches itch 
My prescription’s low, I wish you 
Were Queen 
Just for today 
In a world so white what else could I say? 

And [bad word] was so cold 
All the vases are so broken 
And the roses tear our hands all open 
Mother Mary miscarry 
But 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 
We used to love ourselves, 
We used to love one another 
All my stitches itch 
My prescription’s low, I wish you 
Were Queen 
Just for today 
In a world so white what else could I say?
