The Sumbitch Horror
02:48
|
|
||
Born on a mountain top, not Tennessee
He’s so damn drunk he can barely see
Stilling moonshine is in his milieu
Don’t call him a mullet he’ll fucking kill you
Standing tall about six-foot-three
A model of southern hostility
The townsfolk all stop and stare
But fuck the world, he don’t care
Can you hear the sound?
His truck’s six feet off the ground
He don’t care about tomorrow
He’s the Sumbitch Horror
Family tradition, he knows it well
He’ll make the world a living hell
Pouring through moldy, ancient tomes
The thing in the attic leaves only bones
Can you hear the sound?
His truck’s six feet off the ground
He don’t care about tomorrow
He’s the Sumbitch Horror
He comes down from the hills
Can you hear the whippoorwills?
There’ll be no tomorrow
He’s the Sumbitch Horror
In a sleepy little town
Decadence abounds
From the ancient mound
Here comes the Sumbitch Horror

I cannot stand the way I find myself
A victim of your avarice when I was just a whelp
That gnawing in my chest, a void so tight and black
Darker than any night but I can take it back
And that’s how I use gasoline
And that’s how I use gasoline
Self-immolation, I need to become clean
And that’s how I use gasoline
You brought me to this
Your groping, greedy gaze
Cuts me like a piece of meat
My rage is now a blaze
And that’s how I use gasoline
And that’s how I use gasoline
Burned at the stake, you need to become clean
And that’s how I use gasoline
Fan the flames
They ease the pain
You took my heart and you burnt it to a crisp
But I know just how to get through this
I don’t need your sympathy
I’ve just gotta burn to be free
And that’s how I use gasoline
And that’s how I use gasoline
Self-immolation, I need to become clean
And that’s how I use gasoline

The Golden Door
03:23
|
|
||
I walked ten thousand miles through sand and mud and dirt
My feet are cracked and bleeding and oh my God they hurt
I stumbled towards salvation and I fell down to my knees
The Pearly Gates were closed, you locked and barred them and you threw away the keys
I know the world is dangerous
And I don’t have all the answers
And I don’t know what’s more scary
Open doors or open carry
So who’s to stay and who’s to leave becomes a matter of belief
But no one promised you’d be safe
It’s just a matter of faith
Build a wall. Build a fence
Cower behind your bigotry and call it self defense
No I’m not naïve in what I believe
Some show strength by standing up, others show it on their knees
“Give me your tired. Give me your poor.
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shores.
Send them, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me:
I hold my lamp up high, beside the golden door!”
Build a wall. Build a fence
Cower behind your bigotry and call it self defense
No I’m not naïve in what I believe
Some show strength by standing up, others show it on their knees
You can’t keep us all out

Believe in Faeries
02:58
|
|
||
You’ve made a happy home
A loving partner and a baby boy to call your own
I am the Prince of the Faeries
The watcher in the woods
Older than time I cannot be understood
Only while you dream
Can you sense what is so wrong
I am beautiful and terrible as the dawn
We creep
Through your house while you sleep
On summer nights when you’ve left your windows open
And your little baby smiles so serenely
As we carry him away
One of us now. One of us
Grow wings like a butterfly, and fangs like a bee
Fly free through space, spreading the seed
Eat from the mushroom, and fall flat on your face
Transconfiguration as you leave the human race
One of us now. You’re one of us

I Am a Rat
02:42
|
|
||
I am a rat
I lurk in the streets
I am a rat
I crawl gutters and alleys
Don’t know a thing about me
You think I’m gross and obscene
Asphalt and urethane
They ate away my brain
Because I am a rat
I won’t live in your cage
I am a rat
Fail, fall and try again
I hope it never ends
I slam, I break and I bleed
I gnaw through steel and bone
Your city is my home
I’m here whether or not you want me
Disaster, slash and grind
I’ll take yours and make it mine
I’m here whether or not you want me
I am a rat
I just want to rage
Because I am a rat
Fail, fall and try again
I hope it never ends
I don’t need sleep I need speed
I gnaw through steel and bone
Your city is my home
I’m here whether or not you want me
Disaster, slash and grind
Take yours and make it mine
I’m here whether or not you want me
Loose trucks save lives

Crab Fu
03:19
|
|

We came here
From outer space
To decimate
The human race
You said our home
Is not a planet
Apology
I demand it
You’re on thin ice
You’re on thin ice
You’re on thin ice
We’re gonna fight
And I just thought I’d let you know
Before you and I come to blows
Welcome to your doom
I know Crab Fu
A technique
Of my design
With just one pinch
I’ll snap your spine
Illegal by
Galactic law
I will make you
Face the claw
And I just thought I’d let you know
You and I are gonna go
Welcome to your doom
I know Crab Fu
You’re on thin ice
You broke the ice
We’re gonna fight
You’re gonna die
And I just thought I’d let you know
Now that it’s too late for you to know
Welcome to your doom
I know Crab Fu

Crab Action vs. Skynet
00:22
|
|
||
I hate the automated checkout
‘Cause it puts people out of work
Corporate greed disguised as convenience
The robot war has begun
Crab Action vs. Skynet
The system is down

Crawl
02:24
|
|
||
I am a hollow shell
The crab has died
Can’t they see that
There’s nothing left inside?
Crawl like an insect, crawl through the slime
Under the mud in the salt and the brine
Crawl like a crab, pincers for hands
Down at the bottom in the weeds and the sand
Crawl like an insect, crawl through the slime
You can’t stand for something if you don’t have a spine
Crawl like a crab, pincers for hands
Always moving sideways ‘cause you don’t understand
The crabs are in my gut
I can feel them night and day
The crabs they have fierce claws
Pinching, always pinching
Crawl like an insect, crawl through the slime
Under the mud in the salt and the brine
Crawl like a crab, pincers for hands
Down at the bottom in the weeds and the sand
Crawl like an insect, crawl through the slime
You can’t stand for something if you don’t have a spine
Crawl like a crab, pincers for hands
Always moving sideways ‘cause you don’t understand

I chased her naked through the snow
Her father caught me now we are betrothed
But I ran away just to be warm
And her father’s vengeance is rolling like a storm
Ice is falling from the stars
I cannot move my fucking car
How long it’s been, no one can tell
Trapped inside an icy hell
Frozen desolation falls
Because I just ignore her calls
Spring may never come again
Unless she finds another man
Cold
Cold
I’m so cold
I’m betrothed to the Frost Giant’s daughter

We're Here to Party
02:31
|
|
||
We crashed the dance floor
What the hell did you expect?
We’re here to party, not gonna lie
When we come to your house
Everybody’s gonna get wrecked
If you’re not here to party you’re gonna die
We stole the mic
And we broke the lamp
We’re here to party you’re here to die
You said you were hardcore
Kid you’re just camp
We’re here to party you’re here to die
We’re here
More beer
We don’t mean any harm
Hit the trail with us or buy the farm
Upside-down, let the devil inside
Let’s ride
We have sworn
To always cross the mountains
We’re here to party you’re here to die
You’ve been warned
Knights of the Golden Horseshoe
We’re here to party you’re here to die
We’re here
More beer
Party

Black Seas of Infinity
05:54
|
|
||
I sit alone and stare into space
What’s happened to me?
Hopeless bitterness, disgrace
Is all that I can see
This is all wrong where did this come from?
My chest is tight and my mind is racing
Was it the dark words I read from
Or the call of some outer being?
Don’t call up more than you can put down
I can feel myself
Starting to hate myself
Right now
The greatest measure of mercy
Is that mankind cannot see
We live on placid isles in ignorance
Engulfed in black seas of infinity
Don’t call up more than you can put down
Space
Time
And misery
Have no end
We hold on tight to what we know
And find bleak peace in letting go
Cast adrift on the black seas
Sinking, drowning, floating home
