Tracks



01. Welcome To My Nightmare

Welcome to my nightmare, I think youre gonna like it, I think youre gonna feel you belong.
A nocturnal vacation, unnecessary sedation, you want to feel at home cause you belong.
Welcome to my nightmare whoa, ho, ho, ho...

Welcome to my breakdown.
I hope I didnt scare you.
Thats just the way we are when we come down.
We sweat and laugh and scream here.
Cause life is just a dream here.
You know inside you feel right at home, here.
Yeah, Welcome to my nightmare yeah, hey, hey, hey...

Welcome to my nightmare!
I think youre gonna like it!
I think youre gonna feel you belong!
We sweat and laugh and scream here!
Cause life is just a dream here!
You know inside you feel right at home, here!

Welcome to my nightmare hoo, hoo, woo, hoo...
Welcome to my breakdown...

Yeah!

02. Devil's Food

Get ready for the lady shes gonna be a treat
Simmer slightly till ready make her soft too make her sweet

I kiss the tears off from your chest I felt the poison fright thats in your breath
I knew your precious life and I know your death

I squeeze the love out of your soul all the perfect love thats in your soul
Youre just another spirit on parole you are devils food
You are devils food you are devils food ah

03. The Black Widow

These words he speaks are true were all humanary stew if we dont pledge allegiance to the black widow
The horror that he brings the horror of his sting the unholiest of kings the black widow
Our minds will be his toy and every girl and boy will learn to be employed by the black widow

Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha
He sits upon this throne and picks at all the bones of his husbands and his wives hes devoured
He stares with a gleam with a laugh so obscene at the virgins and the children hes deflowered
Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha

Our thoughts are hot and crazed our brains are webbed in haze of mindless senseless daze the black widow
cos these speaks he says are true were all humanary stew if we dont pledge allegiance to the black widow
The black widow

04. Some Folks

Some folks love to see red
Some folks never talk about it
Some folks crave a blue lady
Some folks know and still they doubt it

Im just no good without it
Im not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me now

Some folks love to feel pain
Some folks wake up every morning
Some folks live for no reason
Some folks die without a warning

Im just no good without it
Im not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me save me
My my baby come on and save me now

I just cant live without it just cant live without it
I dont want to think about it dont want to think about it
I just cant live without it I just cant get it
I just cant I just cant no I just cant live no I I cant

Im just no good without it Im not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me save me
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me now
cos I just cant live without it I just cant live without it
I dont wanna think about it I dont wanna think about it

No I just cant cant live without it I know I dont wanna think about it
I just cant live without I just cant I just cant no I cant

05. Only Women Bleed

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power oh she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and dont come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Man makes your hair grey hes your lifes mistake
All youre really looking fors an even break
He lies right at you you now hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and dont come home at all ooh
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power oh she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and dont come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Black eyes all of the time
Dont spend a dime clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees
Begging me please come watch me bleed

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

All my friends went home years ago
All my toys are broken and so am I inside mom
The carnival has closed years ago ooh

For a little while longer

Maybe an hour no Steven
We have to go back now

Steven Steven Steven
Come home Steven
Come home

09. Steven

I dont want to see you go I dont even want to be there
I will cover up my eyes and pray it goes away
Youve only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming please stop screaming
I dont like to hear you cry you just dont know how deep that cuts me
So I will cover up my eyes and it will go away
Youve only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming please stop screaming

Steven Steven I hear my name Steven is someone calling me I hear my name
Steven that icy breath it whispers screams of pain
I dont want to feel you die but if thats the way that god has planned you
Ill put pennies on your eyes and it will go away see
Youve only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming

Steven is someone calling me no Steven I think I hear a voice its outside the door
Steven I hear my name Steven is someone calling me I hear my name
Steven what do you want Steven what do you want what do you want what do you want
Steven Steven Steven I hear my name

10. The Awakening

I wake up in the basement
Im so hungry Im dry
I must be here sleepwalking mustnt I

Getting up from my easy chair looking for my wife
Following a trial of crimson spots that lead into the night
Suddenly I realize I see it all through real eyes

These crimson spots are dripping from my hand
And oh it makes me feel like a man

11. Escape

Paint on my cruel or happy face and hide me behind it
It takes me inside another place where no one can find it
Escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
Its all escape Im crying in my beer come on lets escape just get me out of here

Dont get me wrong dont get me right Im not like you are
When I get home from work at night Im blacker and bluer
So I escape I get out when I can escape anytime I can
Its all escape Im crying in my beer escape just get me out of here

But where am I running to theres no place to go
Just put on my make up and get me to the show yeah escape
Yeah what are you waitin for

My doctor said just come around youll be taken care of
And in while he ran my problems down I stole his mascara
Thats how I escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
I escape Im crying in my beer its escape just get me out of here

Escape lets get out while we can its escape anywhere we can
Come on its escape nobody wants us around here anyway
Escape what are you waitin for escape escape I escape
