I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize Your mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times) Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize Your mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times) I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize Your mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil (repeat seven times) 02. Subhuman Lyrics by Eric Bloom, Sandy Pearlman
I am becalmed, lost to nothing
Warm weather and a holocaust Left to die by two good friends Abandoned me and put to sleep Left to die by two good friends Tears of god flow as I bleed So ladies fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in my blue sky bag And meet me by the sea Oyster boys are swimming for me now Save me from the death like creature Oyster boys are swimming now Hear them chatter on the tide We understand, we understand But fear is read and so do I So ladies fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in my blue sky bag And meet me by the sea Oyster boys are swimming for me Just one deal is what we made now Forest keys and whirlwind cold Green keys too and keys of gold And even locks that don't explode When the skies become a scroll So ladies fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in my blue sky bag And meet me by the sea 03. Dominance And Submission Lyrics by A. Bouchard, Bloom, Pearlman
Oh yeah
It's been ten years, half my life Just getting ready but then it was time Warpage in the figures, radios appear Midnight was the barrier, back in 1963 Each night, the covers were unfolded Each night, It's Susy's turn to ride While Charles, the one they call her brother Covers on his eyes, murmurs in the background It will be time... Oh yeah Susan and her brother, Charles the grinning boy Put me in the backseat, and they took me for a ride Yeah, the radio was on, can't you dig the locomotion Kingdoms of the radio, 45 RPM Too much revolution then... Each night, Each night, It's Susy's turn to ride While Charles, the one they call her brother Covers on his eyes, murmurs in the background It will be time... It's past midnight said Charles the grinning boy And looking at me greedily, said it's 1964 In times square now, the people do the polka Dominance....Submission...radios appear New Year's eve, it was the final barrier Dominance....Submission...radios appear We took you up and put you in the back seat Dominance....Submission...radios appear Form year to year we looked out for the venture Dominance....Submission...radios appear Dominance....Submission (repeat ad nauseam) 04. ME 262 Lyrics by Bloom, Donald Roeser, Pearlman
Goering's on the phone to Freiburg
Say's Willie's done quite a job Hitler's on the phone from Berlin Say's I'm gonna make you a star My Captain Von Ondine, here's your next patrol A flight of English bombers across the canal After twelve, they'll all be here I think you know the job They hung there dependant from the sky Like some heavy metal fruit These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt Must these Englishmen live that I might die Must they live that I might die In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side But there's no reward for failure, but death So watch me in the mirrors, keep in the glidepath Get me through these radars, no I cannot fail Not when great silver slugs are eager to feed I can't fail, no not now When twenty five bombers wait ripe They hung there dependant from the sky Like some heavy metal fruit These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt Must these Englishmen live that I might die Must they live that I might die Me-262 prince of turbojet, Junker's jommo 004 Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout And see these English planes go burn Now you be my witness how red were the skies When the fortresses flow, for the very last time It was dark over Westphalia, in april of T45 They hung there dependant from the sky Like some heavy metal fruit These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt Must these Englishmen live that I might die Must they live that I might die Must these Englishmen live that I might die Junker.s jommo 004 (repeat many times) Bombers at 12 o'clock high 05. Cagey Cretins Lyrics by A. Bouchard, Richard Meltzer
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there dummy? What you got there man? Ooooh cagey, what you got? What you got there honey? What is it a worm? Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more Ooooh cagey, what you got? Got an awful tummy, Oh no it's inflamed Ooooh cagey, what you got? It's so lonely honey, in the state of Maine Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more I'm graduating in one more term Because I haven't any time to burn Repeating taste of hi-heeled shoe An eel is waiting under the train Being chased around by the neighbor's cat Well it's so lonely in the state of Maine Dumb bells are ringing, ringing in my ear Mother's wombs are crying, ringing in my fear Mother's never run, except when rape is near Ooooh cagey (repeat three times) 06. Harvester Of Eyes Lyrics by Roeser, Bloom, Meltzer
Harvester of eyes, that's me
And I see all there is to see When I look inside your head Right up front to the back of your skull Well that's my sign that you are dead And my list for you checks off as null I'm the harvester of eyes I'm the eyeman of TV With my ocular TB I need all the peepers I can find Inside the barn where you find the hay Well just last week I took a ride So high on eyes, I almost lost my way I'm the harvester of eyes Harvester of eyes, that's me....harvester of eyes And I see all there is to see...harvester of eyes When I look inside your head....harvester of eyes Right up front to the back of your skull....harvester of eyes 07. Flaming Telepaths Lyrics by A. Bouchard, E. Bloom, S. Pearlman, D. Roeser
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron And the jokes on you Experiments that failed too many times Transformations that were too hard to find Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind They're trinity acts a mineral fire Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind It's a flaming wonder telepath Well I've opened up my veins too many times And the poison's in my heart and in my mind Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron And the jokes on you And the joke's on you (repeat ad infinitum) 08. Astronomy Lyrics by Joe Bouchard, A. Bouchard, Pearlman
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tends to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds Like silver scrapes in May Now the sands become a crust And most of you have gone away Come Susy dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you want to know where the winds come from Well it's never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the four winds bar Hey, hey, hey, hey Four winds at the four winds bar Two doors locked and windows barred One door let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey, hey, hey In hellish glare and inference The other one's a duplicate The queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms (repeat twice) The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear Would find themselves at the four winds bar It's the nexus of the crisis The origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me Hey, hey, hey, hey Call me Desdenova, eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent Astronomy...a star (repeat indefinitely) |
