Standing still now...
In the convulsing crowd Like a monolith from some forgotten time Tryin' to get high Dying to embrace the world Come lay down next to go, home Forget about the rest! Brag and hear me Step back or get down! You know I am Old-World Monkey Hailing from the Old-World Monkey baby yeah! Feel like a remnant... Of some long-gone form of life Or civilization Unsynchronized with time Tryin' to get high Dying to embrace the world Come here right next to me, honey Forget about this less! Pounding, pounding...now the rhythm's right And this thing I've found in you... I will keep all nine!!! This one's for y'all... Fuckin' New-World Monkeez!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! 02. Alive & Dead
They try to fuck us...
They always did... They try to break us... They never will... You thought me dead, boe! Well I'm alive... They try to sweep us from the face of the earth They try to make us regret our birth They try to flush us right down the drain And play their filthy games again and again! You thought me dead, boe! Well I'm alive... You thought me dead, boe! But I'm alive... They always tried to sabotage our thing And ban and boycot every song that I sing They're tryin' to make to make us even dig our own graves We'll keep'em waitin' for the Judgement Day! Still alive... Still alive... 03. Cold Women And Warm Beer
I see her walkin' down
In her pretty dress The bot comes 'round w/a crate of beer I feel like a "rude ol" fesse Raisin' hell now... Raisin' hell now... I sing my boogie when the lights go out! When the lghts go out! I see her passin' by In her hi-heel shoes The boe takes the beer to someone else We're stuck w/ the same ol' blues I sing my boogie when the lights go out! And all we got was Cold women Cold women and warm beer Cold women... Oh babe i need more Come now little brother Spare a dime for me All my life i wasted here Gave my soul for free Raisin' hell now... Raisin' hell now... I sing my boogie when the lights go out! When the lights go out! And all we got was 04. Hot Wheels
Theres a whole lotta jumping
And a whole lotta bumping goin on Theres a whole lotta balling A whole lotta mauling going on You can get a bit of this Get a bit of that Come to the party And get a bit of what's going on Theres a whole lotta drinking And a whole lotta thinking going on Theres a whole lotta dancing And a kind of romancing going on You can get a bit of this Get a bit of that Come to the party And get a bit of what's going on 05. Black Water Fever
Insanity with it's little teeth
Is gaving at my brain Amd slowly driving me insane... Black water Black water Black water fever's drowning me! Black water fever... Drowning me! For suffering will always be provided For those in need And i'm being punished for my deed... Black water fever Drowning me! This is the harvest that we reap And it's growing from the baddest sced Once more the circle is complete... Black water fever...drowning me! 06. Lost In The Shadows
Lost in the shadows...
I walk alone Lost in the shadows... Deep in the shadows of my soul Lost in the shadows, I walk alone 'cause there ain't nobody home Lost in the shadows, I walk alone 1000000 miles away from home! Lost in the shadows... Lost in the twilight truth I was lost in the illusion of youth Couldn't bear the night no more Lost in a lifeless void I'm lost in my soul Scan so much my eyes are more Blame it on the moonless nights Or blame it on the days that I died Lost in the shadows of my soul Lost in the shadows... 07. Ain't No Friend O' Mine
Dog-gone soul is better off dead now
Hear my words and hang your heads down Flames are growin' higher, higher... We're caught down in a ring of fire... Goin' down, goin' down... I do it once Or maybe twice Then leave you begging like a good dog Flames are growin' higher, higher... We're caught down in a ring of fire Just like I told you before And now you know it's for real A little thing you should now: Is that you ain't no friend of nine Burn your house and steal your car Kick your dog and take your pretty wife Flames are growin'... Stalk your kids and poison your cat Tell your papa you're a faggot Flames are growin' 08. The Healer
Right!
I'm sitting in your room tonite I'm right here baby by your side I wanna hold you by the hand And tell you girl only I undersand I wanna heal you! I wanna make it good! But I can't... For I can only make you worse I step beside your bed all night I tell you everything's alright If only you could feel my touch And hear me whisper that I love you so much I wanna heal you... You think I am your saviour girl You think I'm gonna be your man But I ain't gonna save you baby Although I'm pretty sure that I can 09. Crooked Mile
Dive into nothingness
Forget that we exist And feed our souls to stray dogs At the gates of bliss We all shall be dismissed To drown ourselves in pools of blood Learn to fool ourselves More than life itself Lose our winds like wild hogs Learn to swim in urine Vomit oxygen sad bile And then walk... As i walk my crooked mile Cross the Tiber and cross the Nile I see centuries rush by As i walk my crooked mile First admit your failure Then embrace your traitor Sell our lives for freedom Learn to hide your fortune Take delight in torture And then walk... 10. Mad Ol' Country
Sure we had a reputation
For being weak and rude And I guess there ain't no saying What's the truth We used to rather mind our business And take care of it too Still we like to keep to ourselves now How 'bout you? Sing a song for a mad ol' country No place like home Just a song for this mad ol' towa The north will rise again! It's rising! So we liked to drink our whiskey For a forth sight in a row And go raisin' hell down south What a real bloody horrorshow And yes, we take a lot of pride, man In what we are and what we do At least we have integrity, son How 'bout you? It's rising: Can you hear it honey? Now for all ye unbelievers Just let the truth be knows You can take a an out of here, girl But never above It's rising! 11. Man's Ruin Revisited
Alright!
God bless me for my sins God bless me for my evil deeds For I've done wrong Thatnk god for my disease And praise the lord for my lurid needs I fuckin' need'em! I'm doin' fine! I won't cross the line Till I leave this living hell It's man's ruin again Man's ruin again! God bless me for my wounds God bless me for my scars as well I'm goin; to hell babe! Thre ain't no cure for my disease Until I cease to exist Well life's a bitch anyway It's man's ruin again! Man's ruin again! 12. Better Angels
So they came into being
Under a dying sun Better angels of our nature A job well done? Don't under the surface Lying dead but dreaming Better angels of our natures 'twas a dream worth dreaming... When all our wisdom has faded All is said and done Our good intentions are jaded, jaded And all hope is done For the better angels So the seagulls landed On a dying shore And all our hopes were stranded Growing faint to the core Yet the city's breathing Forever dead but dreaming Better angels of our nature 'twas a dream worth dreaming... Let us pray for our better angels... |
