Think that I know you, but I just can't place the face
Got something to show you, it can never be replaced Wherever we walk, wherever we fly Wherever we live, wherever we die Think that I know you, but I just can't say goodbye This is it Hey now, don't it make you feel better? Come and get it! This is it Here we go, we going to fly Come and get it! This is it Hey now, don't it make you feel better? Come and get it! This is it Here we go, we going high Come and get it! Remember the rising when the lightning filled the air No compromising in a strapped electric chair, you were there We never could walk, we always could fly We never could live, we always could die Think that I know you but I just can't talk, too high Think that I know you but I just talk too high Over your horse and ride Do you know a better way to make it all good inside? All the friends have died away, by a new law they abide And all Gods' children, there they go, judgement on their side Do you know a better way, to make it all good inside? And I cry does it make you feel better, sing it All Gods' children, there they go, taking the free ride 02. Electric Rattlesnake
Just can't win for losing, stare 'em in the eye
An ego made for bruising, a heart that you can't buy If patience is a virtue, let's set out to sin I'm all worked up in the desert heat, here I go again I never seem to smile, you'll find me in the dirt Your lovable reptile, yeah for what it's worth I'm poison to your happiness, poison to this song C'mon down, c'mon down to the ground so we can sing along Plug me in, yeah, now set me free I got a two fang grip that you should see All wrapped up down, 'round your leg Let me loose, I'm a powder keg I love you More Than you can take Make no mistake I'm an Electric Rattlesnake More Than you can take A two fang break Electric Rattlesnake All curled up, make no mistake Two fang deep, got skin to break Plug me in, got to shake and bake Electric Rattlesnake More Than you can take No mistake Electric Rattlesnake I'm ya satisfaction, give ya skin a glow The number one attraction, apples packed to go C'mon down the garden, original sin Got a two fang bite in the overnight, here I go again All about just living, living this or that Shake it up and lay it out, the pigs are getting fat Bite me as I slither, rape me as I bake Plug me in baby, then turn me on I'm your Electric Rattlesnake Snake bite, color my imagination In a spiral dream, a hallucination It comes to me with no reservation I got the taste, do you mind? Snake bite, color my imagination Like a spiral dream of illumination It fills me up like a medication I got the taste, do you mind, here I go again 03. Wish You Were Dead
He got retribution
He got loaded guns Uses silver bullets in the chamber And shoots them just for fun He got the solution Got long lasting pride He got silver lining in his pocket And a bag full of alibis Hey baby, shine the light on me As I shoot across the sky Hey baby, I'm your Superman And somebody gonna die Got me spinning in circles Got me towing the line Got me into the mess I'm in But the speed has made me blind Got me spinning in circles Hanging by a thread If I had one wish to use, I swear it I wish you were dead It's a shallow constitution It's only homicide You only get what you make it to be But your request is denied Sweet electrocution Sweeter than the bride Put an X on the hollow eyes So we all know that they've died Hey baby, shine the light on me As I shoot across the sky It's all up to Batman And somebody's gonna die, don't ask why We got our retribution Got the final done We got the spark, we hit the mark And the killing's just begun Sweet electrocution Sweeter by your side Let it go, let it fly to the sky And we die Here we go again! x2 Got me spinning in circles Got me towing the line Got me into the mess I'm in But the speed has made me blind Got me spinning in circles Hanging by a thread If I had one wish to use, I swear it I wish you were dead Wish you were dead 04. Black Daze
Name the father, son & the fixer
And to the warmth we all feel inside Strap it on and pour the elixir To the days we count as alive Concrete Jesus in a hell of a fix He makes his living on a heavy-handed mix More Black daze, white haze Shoot me down the adrenaline highway Black daze, white haze Shoot me up, count me alive Seem to pray whenever I need it Seem to sin whenever I want Strap it on intending to bleed it An easy mark, so nonchalant Concrete Jesus got the law on his side He gets his kicks pissing on my pride Call in the fixer More Amputated spirit, executed soul None but the shell of before Exterminated feel it as it fills the hole Here them screaming, they want more More 05. Save Yourself
Twisting and turning the incessant burning of night
Never quite learning the truth, wrong versus right Wings that are broken, words never spoken in flight The future now open, then flashes to hide out of sight Don't you look so fucking sad, I'll beat you like you never had Can't hide behind the purity, they'll be no more security God's not here to serve you now, I;m here to give and show you how Darkness and light Naked disaster Only you can save yourself Save yourself Make it go faster Only you can save yourself Save yourself Deadly sensation, the cold liquidation unfolds Disintegration, in pure isolation they fold Wheels that are broken, once were outspoken and rolled The future now open, explode to lose all control Black ring painted 'round your heart, this is where we're going to start Can't hide behind that riddled soul, I can see right through the holes God don't want to beat about, let's clean it up and sort it out Twisting and turning, the incessant burning Twisting and turning, burn, burn, burn, burn 06. Drop The Hammer Down
Hold your feet to the fire
Hold your face to the ground Hold on tight, you're a target baby Drop the hammer down I'm a long life, loving hate I'm a bomb that makes no sound Could you please, would you loosen these I'm about to fucking drown Lowdown and overloaded, keeping you alive I see that you've exploded On the other side Lowdown and lowdown, kicking it around I see that you've exploded Drop the hammer down In a mock execution In a house of gag and bound Not the best solution Drop the hammer down I'm a long life, hating love I'm under my dirt mound If you could stand where we stood We're not fucking around Let's hear it for the black and blue For the tortured soul, for the battered crew Three cheers for the black and blue Raise a glass to the beaten down To their dignity and bloodless frown Three cheers for the beaten down Drop dead dreams in a deep, dirt ditch Buried by a shovel hand Dead screams from the son of a bitch Coming out to beat the band Oh baby how I love your bite Turn my smile upside down Oh baby how I hate your light As you drop the hammer down 07. 21st Century Man
Suck it up, it's a new sensation
He's a 21st century man Hooked on into the new vibration You can tell by shaking his hand Feeling his head throb, he lights up a flash mob Hey damnation, watch him go now, a better battle plan Hey mutation, techno freak how, 21st century man Hey damnation, in your face, he does the best I can Hey mutation, outer space for the 21st century man Suck it up as the worlds collide He's a 21st century man Living large than he's cast aside There's got to be a better plan Preparing for the next war, iPhone in his hand Feeling his heart jump, turn up the heat pump All the colors turn to gray The innocence has gone away Too much info here to stay 21st century man Suck it up, and the masturbation Said the 21st century man I'm hooked on into a goodbye nation You can tell by his futile hands He's heading down the fast road Limited attention span Feeling his soul burn Never did quite learn 08. Old Wounds New Scars
We ran it out, took another chance
Between the real and the disappear We turned about, did the devil's dance Screamed we got to get on out of here There's no rest for the hunted They only live to stay alive So we took our chance with the devil's dance And kicked it into overdrive First in and last out, a thorn in the side First in to fight, let it ride Got a lot of mouth for a Jersey white boy Beat the drum, now you've gone too far Drag it out, eat it up, enjoy Old wounds, brand new scars The screams would come, keep us up at night I couldn't even sleep a wink Now I beat the drum, find a strange delight Knowing the my eyes don't blink There's no meat for the hungry They only eat to stay alive So we screamed so loud, that we cleared the clouds And cheered the swan to dive The screams would come, keep us up at night I couldn't even sleep a wink Now I beat the drum, find a strange delight Knowing the my eyes don't blink .....Head don't think So you see my friend, there is no end, this was only yesterday So we burned the hope, we took all the dope It what you carry what it weigh There's no hope for the hunted, he only play to live by chance And the overdrive kept us all alive, as the fires burned At the devil's dance 09. All Over But The Shouting
Once upon a time
When you had us all in line Thought that we would never learn The word out on the street Was you never felt the heat Even when the fires burned Then the dogs of war Barking at your door Is this what it's all about? So we broke the deal It's how it made us feel Drummer started on the shout Heard a thousand drummers on a solitary light Heat of a thousand summers explode into the night They hid behind the curtains, their faces were concealed A voice above the ashes screamed I want to make a deal I'm back on my heels Hell raising, drums blazing All over but the shouting now Hell raising, drums blazing Careful what you wish for, you may get it now Hell raising, drums blazing All over but the shouting now The look upon your face When we blew it into space And let the pieces fall about Destruction on the ground The heart of freedom found In a voice could only shout The pain would go away The pride inside would stay The blood is dripping you're alive The ones that stood and fell Were all remembered well The cross of an animal 5 Cold calculation got them to fall into line Annihilation, got them working the shine They scream and shout All over but the Beat generation in a room full of war Evacuation as the stones hit the door They want out, all over but the shout So, once upon a time When we lit the line Thought that we would never learn The word out on the street They melted in the heat Even when the fires burned Then the dogs of war Scratching at your door Is it what it's all about? So we broke the deal For everything you steal We start the drummer on the shout 10. Good Night
Hey man, what's it gonna be?
Indecision is killing me Hey now, turn around as you're clawing at the ground It's about to get away Living in America Got the mass hysteria Burning on the right As you're putting up a fight And it's just the price to pay For another perfect day Show me a good thing, give me the time Burn on the left wing, scene of the crime no need begging give me all your money There's a flat dope fee if all ya want is honey Show me a good thing, got no more time hey man, it's a wild thing Getting what you're going to bring Hey now, let it out As it covers up the doubt And you keep the dogs at bay Living in the perfect dream Riding on the laser beam Tuck 'em in at night Get a sweet dream bite And that's just the way it goes The whole thing fucking blows Here we come and there they go, in the ever fading light There's a nightmare waiting, don't you know, it's time to say good night And all the sweet dreams tucked away, the devil out to fight There's a nightmare waiting, don't you know, it's time to say good night Good night kiss |
