Lyrics

    He couldn’t believe how easy it was
    He put the gun into his face
    Bang!
    (So much blood for such a tiny little hole)
    Problems have solutions
    A lifetime of fucking things up fixed In one determined flash
    Everything’s blue
    Everything's blue in this world
    The deepest shade of mushroom blue
    All fuzzy
    Spilling out of my head

The fifth line was changed on the final album cut:

    Problems do have solution, you know
