UN MUNDO FELIZ

Matthieu Culleron: Let's talk about Special K. To begin, lot of people don't know what it is exactly.

Brian Molko: Well, it is Special k, the name for a street drug, the ketamine. I took it once 10 years ago and they gave it in the 1950's to the astronauts to create the sensation os anti-gravity, and it really feels like that.

Matthieu Culleron: Now it i an anesthetic for elephant, honestly...

Brian Molko: Yeah (laughs). And I don't recommend it. It's really... once was enough. but the song is also a theme that runs on a few songs on the album wich compares the drugs to love. And on Special K it compares the rise... the rise on a illegal substance and the feeling that we feel when we fall... when we find love at first sight. They are quite similar. but the moral of the story is that everything that goes up must be come down.

Matthieu Culleron: The come down is sometimes hard.

Brian Molko: Absolutly, yeah, really hard.

Coming up beyond belief

on this coronary thief

More than just a leitmotif,

more chaotic, no relief

I'll describe the way I feel

weeping wounds that never heal

Can the savior be for real

or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay

You come on just like Special K

Just like I swallowed half my stash

I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay

You come on just like Special K

Now you're back with dope demand

I'm on sinking sand

Gravity...

No escaping... gravity...

Gravity...

No escaping...

Not for free

I fall down...

Hit the ground...

Make a heavy sound...

Every time...
you seem to come around...

I'll describe the way I feel

You're my new Achilles heel

Can this savior be for real

or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay

You come on just like Special K

Just like I swallowed half my stash

I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay

You come on just like Special K

Now you're back with dope demand

I'm on sinking sand

Gravity...

No escaping... gravity...

Gravity...

No escaping...

Not for free

I fall down...

Hit the ground...

Make a heavy sound...

Every time...
you seem to come around...

No escaping, gravity...

No escaping, gravity...

No escaping, gravity...

No escaping, gravity...

Gravity...

Gravity...

Gravity...
