What good is success (Without love)
How can I connect (Without love)
What good is sex (Without love)
What is a funeral without any fun
Without Love Without Love
Without Love Without Love
Without Love Without Love
Without Love Oh Without Love
What good is giving (Without Love)
if it leaves you hollow and drained (Without Love)
Who still has a sense of righteousness (Without Love)
where cynicism prevails (Without Love)
Without Love Without Love
Without Love Without Love

Sweet Little Girl

Oh little girl
she is so confused
She does not understand
why she keeps getting used
(Oh)
Oh little girl
she is so afraid
Oh can she not see
she doesn't have to get paid
(Oh)
To confess her love she must reveal her true self
When she knows she is loved
yes she may one day love herself
To confess her love she must reveal her true self
When she knows she is loved
yes she may one day love herself
Sweet little girl
she's innocent and true
She runs away from life
she'd rather start anew
This loving girl
she excuses herself
She doesn't have to
She is good enough
(Oh)
To confess her love she must reveal her true self
When she knows she is loved
yes she may one day love herself
To confess her love she must reveal her true self
When she knows she is loved
yes she may one day love herself

You touch me
virtually
You move me
virtually
You kiss me
virtually
You miss me
in reality
virtual humanity
impossible intimacy
actual uncertainty
sensual banality
physical reality
virtual intimacy
physical uncertainty
actual banality
sensual humanity
impossible reality
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
I keep logging on late every night
longing for your virtual touch to make me right
Waiting for your 8-bit voice to appear
it's only with you that I can be this forcibly sincere
Are you real or just a virtual fantasy
I don't really mind as long as your status says "online"
Separated by vast stretches of dark forestland
This strange attraction I don't quite understand
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L
V-I-R-T-U-A-L

Real Unreal

Are you... real or did I imagine
that this love was something genuine
My lack of metacognitive competence
You limited sense of conscience
drew the real unreal
My life needed correcting
My soul needed disinfecting
At one click I could just shut you down
but I guess I would just still be a clown
Searching...
Fill my space
Fill my space
Fill my space
Fill my space
We lost
our connection
Our virtual love
My body's restless
cause the mind's had enough
All those long hours I spent behind the screen
it didn't occur to me what I should've seen
That on-line my life just withered and died
Slowly I started to long for the fresh air outside
Whatever we had
whatever we shared
Was it all in my mind
or did you really care?
