  news broadcast: ...the soviets... in other news the bizarre murders of political and religious leaders that have shocked this city over the last month seemed to have ended as suddenly as they began. no terrorist groups ... responsibility for the slayings, but police have a suspect in custody under observation in a state hospital. his identity is being withheld pending further investigation. sports and weather next...
  nurse: it's ten minutes past curfew, why are you still up? hello? hello? perhaps you need another shot. ah, that should do it. sweet dreams, you bastard.
  nikki: i remember now, i remember how it started. i can't remember yesterday, i just remember doing what they told me..told me..told me..told me.

  weeks ago in occidental park, hundreds of people gathered for a political rally. there was a man shouting above all the others: "do we have freedom? do we have equality? this country's changing! it is no longer for all of the people! it is for some of the people!" the man's name? "dr. x."
  
  revolution calling
  
  for a price i'd do about anything
  except pull the trigger
  for that i'd need a pretty good cause
  then i heard of dr. x
  the man with the cure
  just watch the television
  yeah, you'll see there's something going on
  
  got no love for politicians
  or that crazy scene in d.c.
  it's just a power mad town
  but the time is ripe for changes
  there's a growing feeling
  that taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
  
  i used to trust the media
  to tell me the truth, tell us the truth
  but now i've seen the payoffs
  everywhere i look
  who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
  
  revolution calling
  revolution calling
  revolution calling you
  [there's a] revolution calling
  revolution calling
  gotta make a change
  gotta push, gotta push it on through
  
  i'm tired of all this bullshit
  they keep selling me on t.v.
  about the communist plan
  and all the shady preachers
  begging for my cash
  swiss bank accounts while giving their
  secretaries the slam
  
  they're all in penthouse now
  or playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
  i guess warhol wasn't wrong
  fame fifteen minutes long
  everyone's using everybody, making the sale
  
  i used to think
  that only america's way, way was right
  but now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
  gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

  operation: mindcrime
  
  {....ring!....ring! the phone hasn't stopped ringing since the hypnotic meeting with dr. x. his plan is brilliant in its simplicity: assassination and replacement. he calls it, "operation: mindcrime," and nikki is the key player. nikki has a weakness. he likes the needle. dr. x makes sure nikki feels good so he can do a good job. the chosen "death angel" is then easily manipulated through subliminal suggestion over the telephone. the password into nikki's brain is "mindcrime." }

  deadly to my cause
  
  speak to me the pain you feel
  speak the word [revolution]
  the word is all of us

  speak to me the pain you feel
  speak the word

  speak the word

  seven years of power
  the corporation claw
  the rich control the government, the media the law
  to make some kind of difference
  then everyone must know
  eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
  
  the system we learn says we're equal under law
  but the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
  let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
  educate the masses, we'll burn the white house down
  
  speak to me the pain you feel
  speak to me the pain you feel
  speak the word [revolution]
  the word is all of us
  speak the word [revolution]
  the word is all of us
  speak the word
  the word is all of us
  speak the word

  spreading the disease
  
  she always brings me what i need
  without i beg and sweat and bleed
  when we're alone at night
  waiting for the call
  she feeds my skin
  
  sixteen and on the run from home
  found a job in times square
  working live s&m shows
  twenty-five bucks [a fuck]
  and john's a happy man
  she wipes the filth away
  and it's back on the streets again
  
  spreading the disease
  everybody needs
  but no one wants to see
  
  father william saved her from the streets
  she drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
  she's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice
  he takes her once a week
  on the altar like a sacrifice
  
  spreading the disease
  everybody needs
  but no one wants to see
  
  religion and sex are powerplays
  manipulate the people for the money they pay
  selling skin, selling god
  the numbers look the same on their credit cards
  politicians say no to drugs
  while we pay for wars in south america
  
  fighting fire with empty words
  while the banks get fat
  and the poor stay poor
  and the rich get rich
  and the cops get paid
  to look away
  as the one percent rules america
  
  spreading the disease
  everybody needs
  but no one wants to see
  the way society
  keeps spreading the disease

  news broadcast: ...informing washington, a technical violation of the 1972 abm treaty...
  preacher: ...i'm asking for hands to be uplifted in just a moment. god the holy ghost is calling out to embrace you. i want you to reach deep into your hearts and your pocketbooks and take his hand.
  nikki: bless me father for i have sinned
  preacher: some of you are in a state of rebellion right now you're saying...
  gun shot...
  
  in the wooden chair
  beside my window
  i wear a face born in the falling rain
  i talk to shadows from a lonely candle
  recite the phrases from the wall
  i can't explain this holy pain
  
  six days ago my life had taken a tumble
  the orders came from high above they say
  a need to use me once again they've got my number
  further the cause boy yes you know the game
  
  i'll wait here for days longer
  till the sister comes to wash my sins away
  she is the lady that can ease my sorrow
  she brings the only friend
  that helps me find my way
  
  i search the past back to a time
  when i was younger
  a target for the new society
  picked to displace the leaders
  countering objectives
  of this new underground reality
  
  waiting for days longer
  'til sister comes to wash my sins away
  she is the lady that can ease my sorrow
  my love for her
  will help me find my way
  
  my mission saved the world
  and i stood proud
  my mission changed the world
  it turned my life around
  
  i look around my room is filled with candles
  each one a story but they end the same
  i'll hide away in here the law will never find me
  the walls will tell the story of my pain
  
  waiting for days longer
  till sister comes to wash my sins away
  she is the lady who can ease my sorrow
  she sets the pace for my delivery of pain
  
  they'll say my mission saved the world
  and i stood proud
  my mission changed the world
  the underground will rise and
  save this world we'll all stand proud
  our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
  we'll all stand proud
  
  suite sister mary
  
  [spoken]
  dr. x: kill her. that's all you have to do.
  nikki: kill mary?
  dr. x: she's a risk, and get the priest as well.
  
  10 p.m., i feel the rain coming down
  my face feels the wet, my mind the storm
  flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
  moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine
  
  midnite, she sings praises in the hall
  to saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
  sister mary, virgin mary, silent with her sin
  [ mary: what are you doing out in the rain? ]
  she feels me, i can taste her breath when she speaks
  [ mary: i've been waiting for you. come in. ]
  
  mary, mary just a whore for the underground
  they made you pay in guilt for your salvation
  thought you had them fooled? now they've sent me for you
  you know too much for your own good
  don't offer me faith, i've got all i need here
  my faith is growing, growing tight against the seam
  what we need is trust, to keep us both alive
  help us make it through the night
  
  [ mary ]
  i've no more want of any faith
  binds my arm and feed my mind
  the only peace i've ever known
  i'll close my eyes and you shoot
  
  no mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips
  i pray i feed you well
  your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
  for what you gave to everyone
  the priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
  from my barrel of death, he turned the holy water red
  as he died he said thank you
  i just watched him bleed
  
  [ mary ]
  i feel the flow, the blessed stain
  sweating hands like fire, and flames
  burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
  the hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight
  
  mary, my lady of pain, always alone
  blind you search for the truth
  i see myself in you, parallel lives
  winding at light-speed through time
  
  no time to rest yet
  we've got to stop his game
  before madness has the final laugh
  too much bloodshed
  we're being used and fed
  like rats in experiments
  no final outcome here
  only pain and fear
  it's followed us both all our lives
  there's one thing left to see
  will it be him or me?
  there's one more candle left to light
  
  [ mary ]
  don't turn your back on my disgrace
  the blood of christ can't heal my wounds...so deep
  the sins of man are all i taste
  can't spit the memory from my mind
  i can't cry anymore
  
  mary, my lady of pain, always alone
  blind you search for the truth
  i see myself in you, parallel lives
  winding at light-speed through time, you're mine
  
  the needle lies
  
  [spoken]
  nikki: i've had enough and i want out!
  dr. x: you can't walk away now.
  
  i looked back once
  and all i saw was his face
  smiling, the needle crying
  walking out of his room
  with mirrors, afraid i heard him scream
  you'll never get away
  
  cold and shaking
  i crawled down alleys to try
  and scrape away the tracks that marked me
  slammed my face into walls of concrete
  i stared, amazed at the words written on the wall
  
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle, it lies
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
  cries your name
  
  wet and raving
  the needle keeps calling me back
  to bloody my hands forever
  carved my cure with the blade
  that left me in scars
  now every time i'm weak
  words scream from my arm
  
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle, it lies
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
  cries your name
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle, it lies
  don't ever trust
  don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
  cries your name
  
  electric requiem
  
  [spoken]
  nikki: anybody home? mary?
  
  even in death
  you still look sad
  don't leave me
  don't leave me...here
  i want what you feel, believe me
  turn the current on
  
  breaking the silence
  
  they told me to run, but just how far?
  can i go wearing the black mask of fear?
  the hate in my eyes always gives me away
  the tension building slowly
  now i lost everything i had in you
  nothing we shared means a thing
  without you close to me
  i can't live without you
  
  breaking the silence of the night
  can't you hear me screaming?
  i look for your face in the neon light
  you never answer me
  
  there's no direction to my stare
  no more flame burning in my heart anymore
  quiet, i keep it to myself
  until the sun sets slowly
  i hear your voice in the evening rain calling
  nothing will keep us apart
  no more lies and fear
  there's no end to our story
  
  breaking the silence of the night
  can't you hear me screaming?
  i look for your face in the neon light
  you never answer
  i could make all the wrong seem right
  if you were by my side
  i'd gather all the tears you cried
  and hide them deep underground
  
  can't look back, it's just a waste of time
  can't erase this hate from my eyes
  
  breaking the silence of the night
  through the streets i'm screaming
  looking for you in the neon light
  why don't you answer me?
  breaking the silence with my cries
  can't you hear me screaming?
  we could make all this wrong seem right
  but you never answer me
  
  [spoken]we know you did it.why did you do it? why'd you do it?
  you didn't do it. why did you do it?
  nikki:no, no , nooooo
  
  i don't believe in love
  
  i awoke on impact
  under surveillance from the camera eye
  searching high and low
  the criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
  handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it
  she said she loved me
  i guess i never knew
  but do we ever, ever really know?
  she said she'd meet me on the other side
  but i knew right then, i'd never find her
  
  i don't believe in love
  i never have, i never will
  i don't believe in love
  it's never worth the pain that you feel
  
  no more nightmares, i've seen them all
  from the day i was born, they've haunted my every move
  every open hand's there to push and shove
  no time for love it doesn't matter
  she made a difference
  i guess she had a way
  of making every night seem bright as day
  now i walk in shadows, never see the light
  she must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
  
  i don't believe in love
  i never have, i never will
  i don't believe in love
  i'll just pretend she never was real
  i don't believe in love
  i need to forget her face, i see it still
  i don't believe in love
  it's never worth the pain that you feel
  
  no chance for contact
  there's no raison d'etre
  my only hope is one day i'll forget
  the pain of knowing what can never be
  with or without love it's all the same to me
  
  i don't believe in love
  i never have, i never will
  i don't believe in love
  i'll just pretend she never was real
  i don't believe in love
  i need to forget her face, i see it still
  i don't believe in love
  it's never worth the pain that you feel
  
  waiting for 22
  
  my empty room
  
  empty room today
  and here i sit
  chalk outline upon the wall
  i remember tracing it
  a thousand times, the night she died.
  why? [why?]
  there's no sleep today, i can't pretend
  when all my dreams are crimes
  i can't stand facing them
  now who will come
  to wash away my sins
  clean my room, fix my meals
  be my friend?

  all alone now
  except for the memories
  of what we had and what we knew
  everytime i try to leave it behind me
  i see something that reminds me of you
  every night the dreams return to haunt me
  your rosary wrapped around your throat
  i lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
  i see your face looking back at me
  
  and i raise my head and stare
  into the eyes of a stranger
  i've always known that the mirror never lies
  people always turn away
  from the eyes of a stranger
  afraid to know what
  lies behind the stare
  
  is this all that's left
  of my life before me
  straight jacket memories, sedative highs
  no happy ending like they've always promised
  there's got to be something left for me
  and i raise my head and stare
  into the eyes of a stranger
  i've always known that the mirror never lies
  people always turn away
  from the eyes of a stranger
  afraid to know what
  lies behind the stare [lies behind my stare]
  
  how many times must i live this tragedy
  how many more lies will they tell me
  all i want is the same as everyone
  why am i here, and for how long
  
  and i raise my head and stare
  into the eyes of a stranger
  i've always known that the mirror never lies
  people always turn away
  from the eyes of a stranger
  afraid to know what
  lies behind the stare
