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 that’s 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
And 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 that’s so white what else could I say?

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 stitches itch
My prescription’s low, I wish you
Were queen
Just for today 
In a world that’s so white what else could I say?
