| Lyrics | |
| You wan'da step into my world It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss You've been delayed in the real world How many times have you hit and missed? You cat-scan shows disfiguration I wanna laugh myself to death With a misfired synapse With a bent configuration I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath You wanna talk to me So talk to me You wanna talk to me You wanna talk to me |
You wanna talk to me You wanna talk to me You wanna talk to me You wanna talk to me You wanna talk to me You can't talk to me You don't understand your sex You ain't been mindfucked yet Let's do it Let's do it Let's do it Oh my distorted smile Guess what I'm doing now |

|
| In Their Own Words | |
| Axl: "My World" happened when we're sitting and were
bored. We've been working on "Live and Let Die" the whole night and it was early
in the morning. I'd been listening to a lot of industrial music and all of a sudden I
said, 'Hey man, let's do something. Let's see what happens. Let's just make it short and
sweet and see what we come up with.' In three hours we wrote and recorded the song."1 Axl: We were also on 'shrooms. A friend of mine had stuck some mushrooms in my tea and I didn't know it. All of a sudden we were being really mellow. So it was kind of a socio-psychotic state of bliss.2 Izzy: There was one song on that record that I didn't even know was on it until it came out, "My World". I gave it a listen and thought, 'What the fuck is this?' Axl: There was a certain focus we all wanted to keep for Illusion l and II, but when l did "My World", everyone dug it and wanted it on the record.3 Axl: It's something I needed to get out of my system. |
