the endless drags of a death rock boy
mascara sure and lipstick lost
glitter burned by restless thoughts
of being forgotten
and in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
and you're a star
somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
a hidden diamond you cannot find
a secret star that cannot shine over to you
may the king of gloom, be forever doomed
and in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
burning up in speed
lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
the useless drags, the empty days
the lonely towers of long mistakes
to forgotten faces and faded loves
sitting still was never enough
and if you're giving in, then you're giving up
cause in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
burning up in speed
lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

Jimmy Chamberlin: (Modern Drummer 1996)

"On "Here Is No Why," I was trying for a totally dirty sound. So we just
hung a little
condenser mike above a small jazz kit, right over the snare drum, and
placed a mic' in front of the kick drum - with no hole
in the head. Then we compressed the track until the hi-hat was as loud as
everything else. The overall effect is this very
loose and trashy sound, like an early Beatles type of sound. It has an
edge that we couldn't get from a clean-sounding
snare."
