The golden talking equine god
Speaks nothing but rage The nature of the burning bee Means nothing to no way The burning talking nowhere near Means nothing to me The golden talking equine god Means nothing to no way 02. Blood Witch Music & lyrics by Melvins
Right in the blood
Maybe it's alive Cause it's loaded Worse on their own Bottom of the world But they mean it Nothing will be worse We have learned to think Cause it might be The nows and the knees How will we breathe? And they like it 03. Civilized Worm Music & lyrics by Melvins
We move more, man I would like to gamble
I came with my poor four eyes Crawling weakly warning my favorite come and lie here Under my bed or deep under my fingers Where are my hands and knees in times of winding We night, it's only when we civilize that worm For vagrant times we need it What secret of your knowing is the beginning Whoa!!! Fine chance to be home, believe it, believe it His widow's nest is growing cold Set sail and hide your head Look alive your going home Look alive your going home Wait Wait Wait Wait Fine chance to be here, believe me, believe it This widow's nest is growing cold Set sail and hide your head Walk the line your going home Walk the line your going home 04. A History of Drunks Music & lyrics by Melvins
She helped me remove the bullet from my leg
She took the blade, dug them out while I lay screaming She showed me bloody things and held them in her hand And said that these were hers and put them in her pocket I begged her to shoot me in the head She took my gun and shot my leg instead The way she held my gun and looked at me with rage Told me that everything was OK and I survived And now she stays with me, it's crazy but she's mine She tells me I'm insane because she doesn't lie She was the killing me, she left me here to die And all the ways that worries all right 05. Rat Faced Granny Music & lyrics by Melvins
The owls are burning
She's sick of me And I'm not leaving So what's the story? Like a good night's They flash in nowhere I couldn't be bothered That's hurting me The night of victory He's ranked you bloody I can't believe And now it's over Wild, nothing new A night, nothing new Oh, you think you're wild, but you're nothing new And now you're wombed Nothing new And that's a wild, but it's nothing new And now you're older Nothing What? Nothing new. A night? Nothing new. What about the heart, friend? But now you're even And you're worried Nothing new Don't even worry, and we'll think it's good Good, good, good... 06. The Hawk Music & lyrics by Melvins
Hey there, Mr Nightmare
Now you're lost (Basics only) The gutter and the martyr Have left you alone (Basics only) The learned and the sparrow Are all eaten by hawks (Basics only) Now you're in the nightmare It's not your fault (Basics only) The wings of holy nightmare Come drifting in (Basics only) Where is all your cold wind Where is what you knew? (Basics only) Now the gutter martyr, now alive and well yeah Now the morning after is just you and yours 07. You've Never Been Right Music & lyrics by Melvins
The rabies, and what we think is right
We're babies, not alive The mirror, and why we change our names Becomes clearer, not alive [x2] 08. A History of Bad Men Music & lyrics by Melvins
Wake up, you never looked so glum
Tell me how will we know they can't hear us coming? It's easy for me, I got a headstart running away Keep up or your disease spread quick So how did you learn to be sick, so cunning It's easy to sing but you just keep on humming along Did you hear that, I got a real bad feeling How many moles do you suppose they're keeping? Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting Yeah Wake up, you never looked so glum Tell me how will we know they can't hear us coming? It's easy for me, I got a headstart running away Keep up or your disease spread quick So how did you learn to be sick, so cunning It's easy to sing but you just keep on humming along Did you hear that, I got a real bad feeling How many moles do you suppose they're keeping? Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping 09. The Mechanical Bride Music & lyrics by Melvins
We are undone
And all I could see They listen to the world They live upon the earth Mother made man And you're so crazy And they would say we're sane Kneel beside the blood We are undone Somewhere no one As soon as it was born Did love of where he stood No lamb will live And underrate this We're staring at the sun As many as I love No water and a lie Covered it over No power in the house And with it, they do harm I can believe That you're so crazy And welcome to the end You wish you were alone 10. A Vast Filthy Prison Music & lyrics by Melvins
Take care of my princess,
Take her cause we live alone. If you weren't so simple, I would never come alone. Raise your hand to heaven, Now raise the one thats half alive. You said you'd give a fortune, If you could have it everynight. The world is full of evil, Now which of those are one of you. Where is my one true angel, With her golden wings so open. Some would call it heaven, Some would call it bravery. I would call it neither, I would call it thievery. |
