Lyrics of Supermassive Black Hole by Muse

Ooh, baby, don′t you know I suffer?
Ooh, baby, can't you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?

pre-chorus

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight

chorus

(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul...)
(Into the supermassive)

verse

I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh, baby, I′m a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
But how long before you tell the truth?

pre-chorus

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight

chorus

(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul...)
(Into the supermassive)

You're a supermassive black hole
You′re a supermassive black hole
You′re a supermassive black hole
You're a supermassive black hole

chorus

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
(Ooh) glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul...)
(Into the supermassive)

You′re a supermassive black hole
You're a supermassive black hole
You′re a supermassive black hole
You're a supermassive black hole
