Nothing is True

Lyrics

You get nothing back for all you've saved
 Just eternity and a spacious grave
 She said, nothing is true, everything is permitted
 Things just go from bad to worse
 Starts like a kiss and ends like a curse
 But nothing's true, she said, everything is permitted
 She got jewels on her tongue to time the stars
 She drives all morning in unmarked cars
 But nothing's true, yeah, it's all permitted
 She got these special tools just to keep things tight
 They robbed her eyes long ago of light
 But nothing's true, she told me it's all permitted
 She got inscrutable poise and nihilist charms
 She gets her sleep through tubes in her arm
 She said, nothing's true, she said everything is permitted
 She nods on graves, the marble's cold and white
 Her dreams surround the sun like a satellite
 She said, nothin' is true, she told me it's all permitted
 The spiders milk her thigh, it does not phase her
 She cleans her skin with a krypton laser
 Nothin' is true, everything is permitted
 She got heels so high, she got a gown so thin
 Her eyes stop the whip before it tames her sin
 She says, nothing is true, everything is permitted
 Until they perfect the techniques to clone
 You all better remember you're all alone
 Because nothing is true, she said, everything is permitted
