Only when the fates, Commiserate Do we get a little taste as unique The Libertine – Know what I mean? Hiroshima on a Sunday You had a gift, you were a gift But there’s always a goddamn catch Blessing and a curse , You made it work The Universe seems so much smaller Legend, Bastards, Best friend, why? Why do the limits have to realign? Hero, Martyr, Mystery, God He was the best of us The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you Never be the same, I want the blame To be assigned to the guiltiest one It can't be done, because the son Was the victim they arrested I'm so fucking pissed at all of this You gotta know that you are sorely missed Miracles are real, They help you he They make you feel like things will get better Father, brother, scapegoat, why? Why did we only get this time? Fighter, icon, Skeptic, God Stop taking the best of us I won't let you disappear I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here History may have its share Of lunatics and stars But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you Skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic Where am I supposed to begin? I’m killing for the karma again Feed the meter in the machine Believing it’s the way to be seen Gone, are we alone? Gone, are we alone? Gone, are we alone? Gone, we're not alone I can't let you disappear I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you heal We were meant to be Kings Rule the masses, run the risk And keep our systems clean History may have its share Of lunatics and stars But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see (will never see) Another crazy motherfucker like you (like you) Like you (like you) Like you
