Hey what ya doin hangin around?
What do you know what I just found?
Oh wouldn’t you like to know..
You’re doing worse off and seething with pain
You took a long walk off a short pier since you pawned that diamond ring
It’s hard I know, keepin the beat, making the green, running the show
Oh man I know, I’m in control, I’ll tear it all down when I go
Can’t you see that the animal in me needs to feast?
Can you help me? I guarantee no one will know what I have seen
Are you unhappy, oh, are you displeased?
Don’t you forget what we agreed
I’m driving now I hold the keys
I can protect us both from all the things that prey on the weak ones
You can escape, I know the way to go
Just do what I say, don’t ever stray, or betray
This is it now, trust and believe that
I’m crawling out of your shell
This is blackmail after all
I’ve been cooped up too long
Now I’m the master in control
I’m crawling out of your shell
This is blackmail after all
I’ve been cooped up
Now the hunter’s on patrol
Hey what ya doin hangin around?
What do you know what I just found?
Oh wouldn’t you like to know..
Just keep your head in the snow

Big Sewer

|

|
Dodging thieves, ex lovers, and the mental disease
Give ya whiplash walking down the street
Cryin outta sight in the night again
Right on back to the feral play pen
Big sewer try’na pull me in
Got one foot out, one dippin in sin
This town is quicksand, y’know
To the dumping ground or the pawn & loan
I used to only find crust on the underside
But mold grows here in the sunshine
Holding down ground maintaining my place
Just marking time until I change face
Dying on the glue trap day after day
The city spoils lost to my dismay
Sloppy and floppy, what’s growing down here?
Just a big middle finger in the face of fear

Squirrel Cage
02:29
|
|

|
Shakin it on up off the downbeat
Driving on east, bound from the back seat
So forsaken tour
Oh, those headlights blurr on me
C’mon now let me be, get your sights off me
Yeah pick up the speed and count your beads
As we lose sight of the black and white
Grab the last of my stash, goodbye pain, you don’t feel the same
Staring at the endless fields of blue sage
Clawing to get out of this squirrel cage
Long West Texas roads, flowing through zip codes
White light white heat, right at Juarez, I dunno
ZZ Top blazin’ out of El Paso
So forsaken tour
On an obscure detour
Turn those headlights on, see your trace is gone
I still feel high-strung
‘Cause I can’t see far-flung through my one eye
Frankenstein on the radio
Grab the last of my stash, goodbye pain, you don’t feel the same
Star Man on the radio
Grab the last of my stash, goodbye pain, you don’t feel the same

Paranoid Defender

Let me take you downtown where I know you don’t wanna go
I’ll meet you uptown now at the hideout that we know
It’s sort of a blank line on a quest for fun
Like feral cats on the prowl, we’ll go where we smell blood
Paranoid defender let me sit here and hold court
Let me finish before you pick which Nom De Crime to pin me for
I’m sick of this skullduggery, all this petty back and forth
I’ll have the last word and I won’t let you slander me no more
Hey, we’re going back uptown and I know, I know, I know
Trust me I know I know I know just where to go
Now we’re back downtown, back where our cover can’t be blown
Got nothing more than blood stains, ammo, and M.O.
Gaslight me, c’mon!
You think I been studyin’ evil in Mother Mary’s basement?
Well, Blasphemy never tasted so good
You wanna know what crawls under the surface
It may be more than what you bargained for

Space Elevator

I cut ties and cloned my life just to be where I wanna be
Where no one’s knives can sink anymore
Free from my used up me
Neck attached to my head, still belongs to me
I drew a line in the sand, and put my mind at ease
Hey!
It could happen to you
Let it happen
I took flight and beamed a light eclipsing far beyond yesterday
It slides right back and tunes your mind
Burn brighter than a delta ray
All my fear and woe, have been cast away
A new point of view, with an overlay
I got thawed and spoke to god, who put his thoughts inside my head
The purring motor never sleeps, and I can see every thread
What you thought you knew, has only been misread
I locked my bygone dreams in the old woodshed

Storm the Gates
03:49
|
|
||
|
When a potent cocktail sent to the bowels makes it around, oh ho ho!
Bet you didn’t know this outlaw mudshow has burst a boil upon this land
When just a seed of one misdeed wakes the old gods from their flaming beds
When the lords of several hells all hate you and want you dead
But the scene is so well lit in the cross-hellfire
The valley deepens as we sink into the mire
No one cares to save you here or any of us
Damnation, ruination now this way comes!
A dimensional rip, a cosmic drift,
A tear to where nobody knows
Taken by swarm, no way to warn,
Storming the gates now here it goes
Scorching the plains, whipping their chains, hell’s puppets flood the battlefield
Revvin’ it up, splitting the bluff, bat wings and demons on two wheels
Now feel the heat and terror increase
With a new emergence from the hole
All the fiends, yield to the theme,
Present the Molten Golem in the glow
It would seem that creature would heed
To the shadow who leads this debauchery
For those who plead, they may not bleed
But if you can’t fight best take your leave

Stone Axe

Placed in my hand as the magma cools
I embrace my fate as I chip away at my blade
There’s a storm ahead, yeah, it’s right about time
Time to fight, the weather’s right, I’ve got to christen my...
Stone Axe
Feel the weight of the task
My mirror blade only takes, it don’t ask
I offer the heads of my enemies
I’m obsidian, I stand against your sorcery
Once we’re bathed in blood, the task is done
I flow with the four winds, and I lay down my...
Stone Axe
Feel the weight of the task
Mirror blade don’t ask
Lay your blade to rest
Pay your last respects
Wait for fate to pick who’s next
Stone Axe...
The war bound profit seeks now for the golden meadow
With the journey peaked, how will you find your plateau?
Born on a battlefield, now you wander...
Welcome to the future

Dream Keep
05:46

Careful in the snow, careful in the know
The devil is aglow, touch down from up below
And you’ll never reach the ceiling
Just be careful ‘round the Dream Keep tonight
Release your guilt at the gate of entry
Discard it to the winds of midnight
Wet dreams, the things I’ve seen
I never knew Monroe had so many holes
Head down, squirming around
I fold it into my pocket as we reach the next floor
The blinds of your mind are drawn
Leave ‘em open till the tears have gone
Walk on down the hall
Through the dreams of a million dreamers
To dream sweet and obscene
You’re presented a line to the phantom throne
One more time
Wont’cha bring to me one last time
Once it’s said and done
All your dreams of romance and world ending schemes
One last time

Ride All Night
04:50

Too late, can’t use my brakes
Feel the road quake
Got to take these mountain curves like a snake
Laying down is one mistake I won’t make
Ride all night long, racing towards dawn
I’m moving on, to catch up with the sun
Lots of mud throwing
Where am I going? I can’t see
Horizon is bowing
I’m free from the past, won’t look back
Too quick shifting up now
I can hear the gasping sound
Quick save and I’m shifting down
Got to keep from stalling out
Top gear speed every mile I go
You wanna kill me, but I won’t go down slow
No I won’t go down slow
I spread it wide like an Easyrider centerfold
Soft shoe boot scootin’ over broken bones
Remember that you bleed when you cut your teeth
And the victory’s more sweet when you fight from underneath
Well now ya see?
I ride all night now
Keep rolling through that pounding rain and sleet
I ride all night now
My headlight flickers as the sun begins to creep
I ride all night now
Burning the clutch and lean into the breeze
