This song is about the summer of 1998, when Manson was given Ketamine (special K) by his then girlfriend, Rose McGowan. It speaks about the disassociation he felt to reality when experimenting the drug, and all the feelings that assaulted him while under effect.
[Verse 1]
I can tell you what they say in space
That our Earth is too grey
But when the spirit is so digital
The body acts this way
[Refrain]
That world was killing me
World was killing me, disassociative
[Pre-Chorus]
The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down, I know
The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down, I know
[Chorus]
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear

[Verse 2]
Sometimes we walk like we were shot

[Refrain]
Your world was killing me
World was killing me, disassociative

World was killing me, disassociative
[Chorus]
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
[Bridge]
The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down
(4, 3, 2, 1...)
[Chorus]
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don't wanna just float in fear
Dead astronaut in space
