-
And she walks, in like a vision of the dollar come to life,
And she moves, and gives you an all-seeing eye.
And you know right away, she's the spider, you're the fly.
Powerless and fail, rates right off the scale, you're terrified.
In a world of slaves and masters,
Who do you think you are?
She knows exactly what you're after,
Who do you think you are?
You know you're owned.
Bought and sold.
You know you're owned.
Bought and sold.
And you walked, compelled and controlled without a clue,
And you move, a puppet on her string, you're a fool
You're the moth to her flame, a pawn in her game that you'll lose.
Suffering with the delusion that you choose.
In a world of slaves and masters,
Who do you think you are?
She knows exactly what you're after,
Who do you think you are?
You know you're owned.
Bought and sold.
You know you're owned.
Bought and sold. - Track Name: Ol' Scratch Blues
-
Enjoy your time now,
enjoy it while you can,
you signed that paper,
you signed it with your hand.
And when you die,
you're gonna fry,
for nothing but a lie.
The fortune and the fame,
and the ladies too,
But can you see that old black dog,
coming after you.
Enjoy your time now,
enjoy it while you can,
you signed that paper,
you signed it with your hand.
And when you die,
you're gonna fry,
for nothing but a lie.
And when you die,
you're gonna fry,
for nothing but a lie.
Nothing but a lie. - Track Name: Members Only
-
The sign said Members Only,
so let me in.
I know the sign says members only,
but let me in.
Don't you know it's cold and lonely,
outside in the wind,
outside in the wind.
Always young and
beautiful and dear.
The hit parade of songs
we’ll never hear.
you’re on every cover
and you’re getting all the raves.
you’re the biggest star of the grave .
The sign says members only,
and they won't let me in.
Yeah, that sign says members only,
and they won't let me in.
Don't you know there's nothing left,
for us in the wind, for us in the wind.
Always young and
beautiful and dear.
The hit parade of songs
we’ll never hear.
you’re on every cover
and you’re getting all the raves.
you’re the biggest star of the grave.
It's everything that I ever wanted,
a place where I'm always on the dial.
never uncool, never forgotten,
That's a helluva price to pay for style.
But to join you need more than just a song,
Are you sure you wanna belong? - Track Name: Who Cries For The Rich Girl?
-
Who cries for the rich girl?
who cries for the tramp?
Who cries for the little addict that can’t get it together, man.
We all say so sad,
we knew your dad,
at least on TV,
at least it’s not me.
Who cries for the scapegoat,
the never were and never could be,
who cries for the pretty ones,
so lost and empty.
We all say so sad,
we knew your dad,
at least on TV,
at least it’s not me.
What a waste,
but there never was another way.
You paid the price,
a beautiful sacrifice.
The cost of being so lucky,
They always come in threes,
At least it’s not me.
High class pets in a velvet cage,
We'll keep you until you age.
Human trash doesn't recycle,
you're as good as your news cycle.
We all say so sad,
we knew your dad,
at least on TV,
at least it’s not me.
What a waste,
but there never was another way.
You paid the price,
a beautiful sacrifice.
The cost of being so lucky,
They always come in threes,
At least it’s not me. - Track Name: Psychonaut
-
No man is an island,
And when you trip it’s doubly so.
No one is ever alone,
A special kind of radio.
Tune in to go deeper,
Turn on, let it go.
Drop out in the ether,
Drop into the whole.
Alice through the glass.
Alice through the glass.
Tune in to go deeper,
Turn on, let it go.
Drop out in the ether,
Drop into the whole.
I was stuck for so long in one modality,
But now I see I belong, there’s more reality.
Alice through the glass.
Alice through the glass.
I was stuck for so long in one modality,
But now I see I belong, there’s more reality.
Jim goes through the door.
Jim goes through the door. - Track Name: Forever In The Snow
-
We only had a moment,
but we didn’t waste the time.
I never said goodbye,
to the child we’ll never know.
I never said goodbye,
I’ll be forever in the snow.
I am Forever in the snow.
That’ll be the day,
For love a not fade away,
That’ll be the day,
When you’ll surely come my way.
I never left you,
I’m on a midnight shift without end.
Words so soft and true.
Until you’re here, I’ll just pretend.
I never said goodbye,
to the child we’ll never know.
I never said goodbye,
I’ll be forever in the snow.
I am Forever in the snow.
That’ll be the day,
For love a not fade away,
That’ll be the day,
When you’ll surely come my way. - Track Name: Mother of Time
-
Sacrifice yourself upon the stone,
Something so old you know it in your bones,
But you'll never find the way alone.
And the mother of time,
is calling us home,
Leave our life behind,
and come to the stones.
Part of the land,
And part of the sky,
We are alive.
It's a neolithic rave,
humans fresh out the cave.
And we sacrifice ourselves upon the stone.
A genetic memory of,
something so old, know it in our bones.
Back to the source, back to the source.
And the mother of time,
is calling us home,
Leave our lives behind,
and come to the stones.
Part of the land,
and part of the sky,
We are alive.
I know there’s a way back,
somewhere on Salisbury plain,
It’s just a kind of magic,
And we’ll get there some day.
I know there’s a way back,
somewhere on Salisbury plain,
It’s just a kind of magic,
And we’ll get there some day.
And the mother of time,
is calling us home,
Leave our lives behind,
and come to the stones.
Part of the land,
and part of the sky,
We are alive. - Track Name: Final Frontier
-
It's 7 and it's time to check in,
but now it's 8 and now it's 10.
It's time for Tang and vitamins,
let's conduct experiments.
We've been out here since I don't when,
We're up in space just like John Glenn,
Say hi on earth to all our friends,
Sure would like to see some aliens.
Don't beam me down,
or splashdown,
You know I like it above the atmosphere,
Sea of Tranquility,
low gravity,
I'm gonna grab a star as a souvenir.
on the Final Frontier.
The view is positively heavenly,
we're studying cosmology,
Just like the pioneering chimpanzees,
My bones just lost some density.
Don't beam me down,
or splashdown,
You know I like it above the atmosphere,
Sea of Tranquility,
low gravity,
My God, it's full of stars.
Don't beam me down,
or splashdown,
You know I like it above the atmosphere,
Sea of Tranquility,
low gravity,
I'm gonna grab a star as a souvenir.
on the Final Frontier. - Track Name: Reverse Engineering
-
For every little sorrow,
and every little sigh,
every time I scream,
every time you cry.
For all the moments wasted,
on some tiny crime.
We'll never be new again,
we'll never be new again.
When you crashed into my desert,
I was wasted and afraid,
and everything you did was my favorite,
every moment a holiday,
When my jokes were still hilarious,
Your mood was still gregarious,
We'll never be new again,
we'll never be new again.
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love,
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love.
Take the moments you remember,
and the places that you treasure,
and cross the rivers under all the bridges that we burned.
There's no drug to recreate,
things past their expiration date.
And I hope there's more to live than just waiting for our turn.
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love,
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love.
Just like the German scientists after the war,
rebuilt all the spaceships that came crashing through our door,
These chemical machines and their adolescent dreams,
are much more than slaves to their biologic needs.
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love,
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love.
And all the singers that will say,
that love just fades away,
They don't have to live inside,
our lives every day.
We'll never be new again,
we'll never be new again.
But that's no way to quit,
and no reason it should end.
We'll never be new again,
we'll never be new again.
But that's no way to quit,
and no reason it should end.
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love,
It's not rocket science reverse engineering love. - Track Name: El Chupacabra
-
A stalker in the night,
Compact and mean,
A creature plucked right from,
an animal’s worst dream.
He’ll bleed you slow,
his eyes glow red,
It's the little monsters,
that will get us in the end.
Run for your lives,
a terror is unleashed
A real life X-File is coming
for your beasts.
Might be a coyote,
he’ll bite your throat,
and suck your goat,
He’s the Bigfoot of Mexico,
El Chupacabra.
A chameleon and a killer,
an experiment gone awry,
Leaving a trail of victims,
all bled dry.
Disappearing like a shadow,
You’ll never apprehend,
The little monsters,
that’ll get us in the end.
Run for your lives,
a terror is unleashed
A real life X-File is coming
for your beasts.
Might be a coyote,
he’ll bite your throat,
and suck your goat,
He’s the Bigfoot of Mexico,
El Chupacabra.
El Chupacabra.
El Chupacabra. - Track Name: Real Life Superheroes
-
Why does it take a tragedy
to summon the valiant?
Untold are tales of bravery
among the common man
The world doesn't have to end.
We have the heroes
(local vigilante)
Real life superheroes
(just might save the day)
We have the heroes
(doing what is right)
Real life superheroes
(heroes of the night)
We have the heroes
(local vigilante)
Real life superheroes
(just might save the day)
We have the heroes
(doing what is right)
Real life superheroes
(heroes of the night)
Could it be a force at hand
secret from society?
Good intentions, valor grand
watching for the the libertine
A victor living right next door
We have the heroes
(local vigilante)
Real life superheroes
(just might save the day)
We have the heroes
(doing what is right)
Real life superheroes
(heroes of the night) - Track Name: Devil Music
-
I’ve got a taste for the dirty,
I’ve got a taste for the weird,
And I’m looking for something I can’t find around here.
And all these little church mice,
they just bore me, just bore me.
I play my records backwards,
My crosses upside down,
I’ll read the Tarot for any girl in town,
and anything that I catch has gotta floor me, dance for me.
Guys like me,
Want Devil Music,
From underneath,
We love Devil Music.
Heaven don’t want me in their state of grace,
and Hell’s afraid I’d take over the place,
so let’s raise up the horns to Devil Music!
I dream of thousands just like you,
Turning their backs on you know who,
and living life for today,
instead of waiting to die, just waiting to die.
Cuz paradise is a place we can find right here,
with electric guitars, condoms, drugs, and beer,
Existing in the now,
instead of watching life go by, life go by.
Guys like me,
Want Devil Music,
From underneath,
We love Devil Music.
Heaven don’t want me in their state of grace,
and Hell’s afraid I’d take over the place,
so let’s raise up the horns to Devil Music! - Track Name: Pascal's Wager
-
We are but tiny,
inside a world of infinity,
all we have is our reason,
to make us better than the beast.
Pascal was a gambler,
who wanted to believe.
Pascal made a wager,
for the souls of you and me.
And if you win, you win, you win it all.
And If you lose, you lose,
and it don’t matter anyway,
And there’s so many things I’ll never know,
But even the brightest stars,
must lay down their cards,
when the ferryman calls.
I was born a cynic,
but I'm willing to take my chance,
that the universe is big enough,
to be more than coincidence.
We’re playing a game,
that we don’t want to admit,
All the things we feel,
that you just can’t dismiss.
So if you win, you win, you win it all.
And If you lose, you lose,
and it don’t matter anyway,
And there’s so many things I’ll never know,
But even the brightest stars,
must lay down their cards,
and figure out just who they are,
when the ferryman calls.
You’re not a fool to believe.
You’re not a fool to believe. - Track Name: Sha Ka Ree
-
Being young ain't always fun,
and growing up ain't easy,
when you're just a little different,
and your best friend is your TV.
You might never be a hero,
or get along with your peers,
but you could learn to be a human from,
a dude with pointy ears, well.
The bad guys were always wrong,
and the good guys always won and,
we learned how to play the game.
But now my favorite shows,
are full of anti-heroes and,
reruns just ain't the same.
In a world a little sick,
we could use some more logic.
Who taught you the needs of the many,
are greater than the needs of the one?
And who taught you that just wearing a goatee,
Makes you an evil son of a gun?
The only one who tried to talk,
to the Devil in the Dark.
Cuz you were bred from different stock,
like those of us who missed the mark,
See you in Sha Ka Ree, my Mister.
Mr. Spock stopped the jocks,
taking over in Space Seed,
and he always kept his cool,
when Bones would call him a halfbreed.
And we all tried the nerve pinch,
on other kids on the playground,
Till fourteen at least I still believed,
that move could knock you out, damn.
In search of was the show,
that made it cool for UFOs,
it weirded out my little mind.
Embarrassing as it could get,
you sang a song about the Hobbit,
somebody must have been high,
Those of us that can't quite fit,
could use some more of your logic.
Who taught you,
the needs of the many,
are greater then the needs of the one
Who taught you,
that just wearing a goatee,
makes you an evil son of a gun.
From Captain Kirk's superego,
into the dark mind of Van Gogh,
so much of what I know,
came from your heart.
We'll see you in Sha Ka Ree, my Mister. - Track Name: Byzantium
-
We'll never know
just what they know
We'll never find,
just what they've done,
looks like you can do whatever you want,
as long as you’ve got the gun.
In Byzantium.
In Byzantium.
Some are happy
just to follow,
some just want to
pull our strings.
Some are sheep,
some are shepherds,
some people think
they know everything.
In Byzantium,
In Byzantium.
Would it be so bad
worse than what we have
Would it be so bad
worse than what we have - Track Name: Don't Mess This Up
-
They’re using my nostalgia and they're trying to make money on my youth,
They’re bringing back The X-Files and they think that I still care about the truth.
They’re making me feel old when they dig up all the actors,
at least I’m in a demographic that still matters,
I still curse the Lone Gunmen and their luck,
and I think I can speak for all of us,
Don't mess this up, yeah.
Don't mess this up.
I’m looking at you, Chris Carter.
We’ve been burned before from Jar Jar Binks to Indy 4, don’t you see,
It’s been reboots up the tail and they all just add up to fail, you just want more money.
So let’s put on some Spice Girls like it’s 1997
Pop open a Surge and watch a little Seventh Heaven,
But don’t you dare talk about conspiracies after 9/11,
But I think that I can speak for all of us when I say,
Don't mess this up, yeah.
Don't mess this up, here we go.
They’ll never bring back Firefly,
No matter how you scream and cry.
They’ll never bring back Firefly,
No matter how you scream and cry.
They’ll never bring back Firefly,
No matter how you scream and cry.
They’ll never bring back Firefly,
No matter how you scream and cry.
They’re using my nostalgia and they're trying to make money on my youth,
They’re bringing back the X-Files and they think that I still care about the truth.
I Want To Believe was definitely not it.
It was cool you made a second one but next time get a script,
Can you even show the Smoking Man with a cigarette that’s lit?
I speak for every thirtysomething when I say
Don’t mess this up, yeah.
Don't mess this up, yeah.
Don't mess this up. - Track Name: Ascension
-
The dark and the light they want you.
everyone competing for your mind.
Your mind.
You can see things like no one else.
you’ve got to leave your friends behind.
Behind.
Your life’s no longer a bore,
Secret wars and hidden doors,
you’ve found.
Opened your third eye to see,
thrown back the veil of secrecy,
unbound.
Ascension,
Ascension.
You’re an X-man now.
More than a human now.
Ascension,
Ascension,
Ascension,
Ascension.
You’re an X-man now.
More than a human now. - Track Name: Barbwire Heart
-
Hold my outrage tight to me,
Righteousness like a shield.
My indignation,
is a wound I'll never heal,
Slights and jabs and every little pain,
Long memory plays every scar again.
In this barbwire heart,
beats my rosary,
without its angry rhythm,
I don’t know who I’d be.
Picking my scabs bloody,
Reinfected every sore,
Every step I take is,
Towards evening the score.
Slights and jabs and every little pain,
Long memory plays every scar again.
In this barbwire heart,
beats my rosary,
without its angry rhythm,
I don’t know who I’d be. - Track Name: Carmilla
-
Proper little misses sharing,
little bloody kisses,
and every fire starts from just a spark.
Our secret experiments,
on your angel innocence,
don’t matter what you look like in the dark.
Just you wait until the sun goes down, down, down.
when she whispers you’re hers forever now.
Carmilla,
desire comes at you sideways,
Carmilla,
Would you dare to speak her name?
Pretty porcelain cheeks,
tender sweet little tweaks,
I’m getting sick of always pretending.
Just a few more sleepless nights,
I know you’ll hold our secrets tight,
I’ll miss our visits more than anything.
Just you wait until the sun goes down, down, down.
when she whispers you’re hers forever now.
Carmilla,
desire comes at you sideways,
Carmilla,
Would you dare to speak her name? - Track Name: Don't Shoot First
-
don't believe everything you read
don't believe everything you see
you don't have to understand
you don't have to be my friend
you might not like what I have to say to you
but that don't mean it's not the truth
don't shoot first
this messenger has traveled
so far from home
don't shoot first
I only came to tell you
you're not alone.
when you just can’t see past your nose
you think that all your doors are closed
you don’t have to understand
but one day you’ll have to comprehend
you might not like what I have to say to you
but that don't mean it's not the truth
don't shoot first
this messenger has traveled
so far from home
don't shoot first
I only came to tell you
you're not alone. - Track Name: I Was A Teenage Zombie
-
I was a teenage zombie
1313 Mockingbird Lane
other kids liked sports
i wanted brains
Hey now, the saw is family
Hey man, don’t you lose your head
It’s the Night before the Day after the Dawn of the Living Dead
I'm on the cover of Fango
I’m in the Grand Guignol
I’m a Famous Monsters late night picture show
We’re just right down from Elm Street
It’s the Last House on the Left
You know we never mind uninvited guests
Nicer than the Manson Family
Let’s go paint the town RED
It’s the Night before the Day after the Dawn of the Living Dead
I'm on the cover of Fango
I’m in the Grand Guignol
I’m a Famous Monsters late night picture show. - Track Name: The Keep On The Borderlands
-
Some days you are my prisoner,
some days you are my guard,
sometimes you are the one thing
between me and the Dark.
And all the safe and reassuring words,
couldn’t protect any of the herd from
self-loathing and boredom.
So lock your doors, don’t make eye contact,
and maybe you’ll get out intact,
humbled, embarrassed and ignoble.
So keep on,
keep on,
keep on,
keep on. - Track Name: Spotlight
-
She always did what what she was supposed to do,
she never cried, or complained.
but she never knew where she was going to,
if this was right, why was it so mundane?
Looking back was a bad dream,
of near misses and lost opportunities,
but when she picks up that mic at Friday Karaoke,
she's finally who she wants to be.
Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey,
and not the drama of her life.
An American Idol that might be temporary,
She just wants her little place in the spotlight.
She always did what she was told to,
please and thank you, yessir and no ma’am,
but no one cared what she was going through,
work at this, study that, marry him, and don’t look back.
Cuz what she saw was a bad dream,
of near misses and lost opportunities,
but when she picks up that mic at Friday Karaoke,
she's finally who she wants to be.
Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey,
and not the drama of her life.
An American Idol that might be temporary,
She just wants her little place in the spotlight.

-
Oh Charlie Charlie, can you tell me if you’re here?
Oh Charlie Charlie, can you be my secret seer?
Charlie Charlie, what is the meaning of it all?
Oh Charlie Charlie, what am I deserving of?
Oh Charlie Charlie, will I ever fall in love?
Charlie Charlie, show me the writing on the wall.
Are you an angel, are you a devil?
Or are you just a soul who got lost along the way?
A little game with the great unknown,
to play for what the future holds,
I’m frightened but I just can’t look away,
So Charlie Charlie can we play?
Oh Charlie Charlie, was your innocence destroyed?
Oh Charlie Charlie, does it all come down to Freud ?
Charlie Charlie, show me the writing on the wall.
Oh Charlie Charlie, why do you even bother?
Oh Charlie Charlie, did you have a sick father?
Charlie Charlie, what is the meaning of it all?
Are you an angel, are you a devil?
Or are you just a soul who got lost along the way?
A little game with the great unknown,
to play for what the future holds,
I’m frightened but I just can’t look away,
So Charlie Charlie can we play? - Track Name: Messiah Complex
-
When Constantine saw the cross,
burning in the sky,
Another bleeding heart thinks
they can fix our broken lives.
While you’re waiting for your vision,
In you're existential dread.
These bargain martyrs
Still just wind up dead.
It’s the messiah complex,
that happens before childhood’s end.
But just because you’re not alone,
doesn’t mean you have a friend.
So save yourself.
in a world full of victims,
Spending their whole life,
waiting for the knife
Save yourself,
we got to save ourselves,
Or we'll never survive.
No one gets out alive
They tell us we have sinned,
they tell us we are cursed,
and if you want to get to Heaven,
you’ve got to go through Hellfire first.
So you'd like be a saint
Well here's my advice
all that crushing guilt
is just empty sacrifice.
It’s the messiah complex,
that happens before childhood’s end.
But just because you’re not alone,
doesn’t mean you have a friend.
So save yourself.
in a world full of victims,
Spending their whole life,
waiting for the knife
Save yourself,
we got to save ourselves,
Or we'll never survive.
No one gets out alive - Track Name: Bigfoot Polka
-
See that guy across the floor, he needs a good barber,
That hairy dude is desperate for a cute dancing partner,
None of the girls ever give our hirsute friend half a chance,
The main problem is that his feet are just too big to dance.
Oh Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman,
is he ape or is he human?
He might be the missing link from chimp to humanity,
but when we dance those gosh darn feet are just too big for me.
You might think that he’s innocent, like he just wants a friend,
but he’s not the sweet beast we saw embrace the Hendersons,
Bigfoot’s stumbling around, he’s had a little to much beer,
I’m not gonna, how about you, tell him "get out of here?
Oh Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman,
is he ape or is he human?
He might be the missing link from chimp to humanity,
but when we dance those gosh darn feet are just too big for me.
This is bad, he’s getting mad, he’s gonna make a scene,
He’s grunting and pounding his chest, he’s looking right at me.
He grabbed a beer barrel and threw it right on the dance floor,
And now’s the time I think we all should polka out the door.
Oh Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman,
is he ape or is he human?
He might be the missing link from chimp to humanity,
but when we dance those gosh darn feet are just too big for me.
Feet too big, feet too big, feet too big to dance, Hey!
Feet too big, feet too big, feet too big to dance, Hey!
Feet too big, feet too big, feet too big to dance, Hey!
Bigfoot’s come, we better run from those feet too big to dance, hey! - Track Name: Catfished From Space
-
I met her in an X-Files chat,
joking about first contact.
And we talked all night about disclosure and abductees.
We had so much in common,
We bonded on Blake's 7,
She sounded like the perfect fracking geek.
She found me every night online,
with a DM and a bottle of wine,
She knew it all from Aliens to Zardoz.
She said she was an ET,
which was really sexy to me,
And I thought it was just a big joke because.
She said she was from Alpha Centauri,
I thought that was a code for a town in Missouri.
She used to joke about ruling the human race
That's when I got Catfished from Space.
She said she's an otherworldly monster,
That would come to Earth to slaughter,
but that she would do her best to help me to survive.
She talked about her tentacles,
and three sets of genitals,
I just thought she was a fan of Hentai.
I didn't care if she was pretty,
I knew she was the girl for me,
when she said her favorite cookbook was 'To Serve Man'
Scheduling a meet up,
so that we could hook up,
She said she had the perfect place to land.
She said she was from Alpha Centauri,
I thought that was a code for a town in Missouri.
She used to joke about ruling the human race
That's when I got Catfished from Space.
When I woke from where I lay,
It was like Independence Day,
A big V mothership right over my town.
The army put up quite a fight,
But was gone by Dawn's early light,
that was the day Humanity went down.
It's not quite happily ever after,
because the planet's a disaster,
I'm the human pet that's closest to her hearts.
It's like Battlefield Earth you know,
post-apocalyptic scenario,
I just wish I'd believed her from the start.

You were stumbling when you walked along the river,
You were crying when you walked along the river.
You never heard me follow you,
You shoulda watched your liquor.
No one ever expects to be lost without a trace,
No one ever expects the smiling face.
I don't give a damn what your name was,
I don't give a damn who you were.
You could have been somebody else,
but it was just your turn.
I wanted to know what it felt like,
and it's not fair.
But they won't ever understand,
the bond we now share.

Disappointed is an understatement, better up your pain threshold,

Hey now, pray now,

Hey now what will you say now,

When they beat you down you better have a real strong hide,
or you'll end up just another piece of wreckage in the night.
When the floor fell through, I just knew how it would end,
When there's nothing left, you find out the definition of friend.

There's energy in the air
A sold out show tonight
A command performance
From the afterlife
I know it's not my home,
But I don't wanna go.
It's not just a theater
The spirits live and breathe here
It's not just a building
It's the soul of the city
They whisper in the aisles
about the spirit of The King
Long after he died
He came to hear his baby sing
I know it's not my home,
But I don't wanna go.

While we were wondering what’s under the bed,
there’s been something growing we should dread,
and it’s getting bigger all the time.
Hairier than a Bigfoot's paw,
and scarier than Wolfman’s claw,
there’s pitchforks out looking for a Frankenstein.
So scream your lungs out,
and look for a way out,
they’ll set out your insides out for a little bait.
A chilling effect,
when lives are wrecked,
by a mouth starving for something to hate.
Be careful what you say,
be careful not to wake,
the outrage of a beast with a million heads,
American Monsters will eat you whole,
take your life from your control,
and won’t be satisfied until the trolls are fed.
Someone’s listening,
so say the right thing,
but the right thing changes every day.
The mob always wins,
Needles and pins,
You better watch what you say.

Broken nails and broken words,
Damaged pride and damaged goods,

just on the surface,
somewhere above your reach.
But you’re too far, to be found.
If you wanna meet the Devil, you have to go down.
It’s not a Kraken that will sink your Battleship
You could get snared by a Calypso and not even know when you’ve been whipped,

It’s not the sharks who will devour when you drown,
It’s the chicken of the sea that will pull you all the way down.

I’ll sit and listen to the worst things in your life
I'll be crying on the outside but I don’t care about your plight
Looking side to side to find a mask to emulate
when the camouflage wears off, you’ll be the first to run away
The wheels spin and the lies begin
I'll confabulate a feeling
to learn the tricks I need to fix
to keep everyone believing that
Nothing’s broken in my emotion
I must be cracked cuz I’m not right
Some kind of monster just an impostor
a freak that's hiding in plain sight
Observing close and keeping notes, of the right way to behave,
To infiltrate and analyze, maybe one day invade.
I’ll shake your hand, I’ll nod my head, pretend to give a damn,
I’ll respond to every cue, but never understand.

For a whole generation
he was the inspiration
stoked the imagination
of the Monster nation
Didn’t buy predestination
or a soul relocation,
No belief in Heaven,
or any reincarnation
But at his end of aspiration
his human cancellation
they think he’s playing tricks
afterdeath communication
So they put this complication
under examination
and now they give the Afterlife
reconsideration
Please pay attention to the man behind the curtain,
Because he’s somewhere in between,
Please pay attention to the man behind the curtain who,
you’ll hear from the dark side of the screen.
So this famous monster
is now an Atheist in Heaven.
And he’s still having fun
and he’s still making puns
He said he would come back someday
that he would communicate
but no one could anticipate
his paranormal wordplay
And if you think they’re cracking,
they lost their comprehension,
That there ain’t no action,
no final destination.
These guys have a conviction,
that his spirit is still living,
It’s really their Uncle Forry,
Scientists believe the story.

And I won’t believe
in a love that deceives
and I won’t waste my faith foolishly
on cosmic rays
and mysterious ways
that never gave a damn for us anyway
And heaven and earth can fade away
and the mountains might fall
and all the powers to which we pray
might never answer our call
Flesh and blood is all we’ve got to survive
and I know
There but for grace or lack of, go I
You dreamed of Hell but you forgot
to look inside
The gravity of your hate weighs you down,
so why don’t you fight?
And the tragedy of humanity
is to know our shells might be empty
and do you feel no shame
for all these lives in vain?
Who would kill themselves just to honor his Name?
And heaven and earth can fade away
and the mountains might fall
and all the powers to which we pray
might never answer our call

Emma, I just pray that you never opened your eyes,
And I just wish you gave that bastard some kind of fight.

But before that he took his blade to his wife's eyes,
And she said she never saw who committed the crime.

Sorry Emma, the wrong place at the wrong time.
But he never got that far.

When I was a boy I had the terrors and they came every night
I lied awake, so terrified, never daring to close my eyes.
I thought that I would be at the their whim for the rest of my days,

I didn’t have to be afraid.

All the years that I spent waiting for a chance,
all the hopes projected onto you,
sitting on the bench, watching someone else,
living the life I was supposed to.
A thousand different scenes all played out in my brain,
of this moment and how it happens and what it means.
And now it's happening, and everything has changed.
but sometimes your eyes stare past me.
The part of me I thought that won you,
never had a chance,
you're in love with a dead man.
the thought of him that always haunts you,
Slipping right through my hands,
You're in love with a dead man,
Old t-shirts that get worn around the house,
Old pictures supposed be thrown out.
Why do you love someone who cannot love you back?
Why is it always better living in the past?
All these memories are past their sell-by date,
and a ghost still roams throughout our halls,
A dream is always sweeter than our present state.
And second place is better than nothing at all.
The part of me I thought that won you,

There is a Hell we hold within,

Consequently, rear entry

We camouflage our sabotage,

You don't need a sheepskin to know that,

All your shame is still toxic.

There’s just a little part of me that’s happy I’m not you.
You know the Germans have a word for it, of course they do.
It’s the speeding ticket for the other guy,
It’s the coffee spilled on your dumb boss’ tie,
Reality television when some dumb chick cries.
Uh oh boo hoo.
Why do I like when shit happens to you?
Why do I get a little wood when you get screwed?
Just a bit of bad luck that puts me in a good mood.
Oh yes it do, because I like when shit happens to you.
It’s nothing personal you see,
it’s just the relief when I thank God that it’s not me.
I know I come off like a mean-spirited twit,
but I bet one time you were thinking it.
It’s on Facebook where you complain about your friends,
It’s the morning where your hair is all split ends,
it’s the fact that you have to wear Depends.
When you just wanna quit, I kinda love it.

Just how long can you stare?
At the emptiness inside a prayer,
An ear peeled to every band,
to hear a loneliness that just expands.
All the space between us is so black,
Patience just a virtue that I lack,
Until the void finally calls back,
I'll scream into the night alone.
Wow, I heard you.
How, where'd you go?
Now, I'll follow,

Now the long wait can begin,

I seen the end my friend, I've seen what you get,
There's millions of us dead, they just don't know it yet.
The best minds of my generation wasted on the race
going mighty fast, but going to no place.
We trade the best years of our lives for a never-ending chase
And one day you'll wake up to find all you are, is a ghost, with your face
Well we all want to run away, we all want to break out,
It's the quiet desperation Henry Thoreau talked about,
But we got to be real, we signed the deal, and it's not as easy as they say,
It's gonna take a movement if we want to bust these chains.

Alive with half a consciousness
That in the end I’ll fail The Mirror Test.

Go out drinking like Charles Bukowski,
Karate kick like Bruce Lee
and then go bungee jump right off the Hoover Dam.
I’m gonna take on Everest,
Hold on 8 seconds like in the Wild West
I’ll even leave my home without American Express
And maybe I can finally be free
of all the fears that were just paralyzing me
I wanna go out as a man with no regret,
but I’m scared to death I must confess,

-
A subtle change and your head spins
flip of the switch, it all makes sense
an arrogance you can pretend,
To reduce it to just elements.
Synapses fire
with chemistry
But we can break up
reality
to share far more
Than flesh and blood
A new way of knowing
Here comes the flood
When you’re in the space that’s in between
You can redefine what you believe
No time to waste
no place to judge
Better get ready for the flood.
Look for who’s pulling your strings,
Are you just defined by your things?
Embrace what this knowledge brings,
And this is where the balance swings.

What do we do
the switches won’t respond
point our fingers to
a 5th column from the vast beyond
who’s hiding what
another wild theory
Who can you trust
when we’re yelling in the streets
and behind every picket fence
you’ll find your own worst enemy.
the monsters are due on Maple Street.
A simple pattern
It's always the same
When the unknown appears
We find someone to blame
A trigger in plain sight
Agitates the hive
It's just a matter of time and
We'll eat each other alive
What are you guilty of?
What are you waiting for?
Who’s the little green man
inside a meteor?
and behind every picket fence
you’ll find your own worst enemy.
the monsters are due on Maple Street.
Inside every closed door,
there lies a new conspiracy
the monsters are due on Maple Street.
And our world is full of Maple Streets. - Track Name: Power Loader

1 2 3 shots in,
I’m through the roof,
invincible and I'm 200 proof.
Spoiling for someone to take me on,
My blood is fire,
I’m in the Octagon.
I’m in a Power Loader,
I’m indestructible now,
Like in a Power Loader,
You can’t push me around.
Every look’s a jab,
and every stare a punch,
an invitation to some fisticuffs
Just say the word, and let’s go to the mat,
Cry for mama and say Game Over Man
I’m in a Power Loader,
I’m indestructible now,
Like in a Power Loader,
You can’t push me around.
You can ride the white line
all the way to fight time
Cuz you know for a black eye,
is better than a flatline.
I’m gonna nuke you from orbit
I want you to hit me as hard you can
I’ve got the code for god mode
tonight I’m a champion.
I’m in a Power Loader,
I’m indestructible now,
Like in a Power Loader,
You can’t push me around.

I’m loving, caring, and kind,
you’ll put your stinger in my backside,
your venom I can’t resist,
so let’s get on with this little tryst.
You love me,
You hate me,
You can try but you can’t change me.
I’m a victim,
I’m a killer,
I can’t help it, that’s my nature.
My nature.
I’m naive, but I’m not a fool.
You’re designed to be cold and cruel.
You can’t help your insatiable bloodlust,
I can’t help my misguided trust.
You love me,
You hate me,
You can try but you can’t change me.
I’m a victim,
I’m a killer,
I can’t help it, that’s my nature.
You can’t deny what you can’t control,
the beast is cold of heart but pure of soul.
there’s no changing spots through an exit poll,
so let’s take a dive in the swimming hole.
You love me,
You hate me,
You can try but you can’t change me.
I’m a victim,
I’m a killer,
I can’t help it, that’s my nature.

Float like a butterly,
Get knocked down and you gotta get back up,
put me in the game, I'm ready to play.
in a place where the best and mighty roam, take the field and fight,
struggle in a battle for glory.
When I play, I play to win,
take my chips cuz I'm all in.
This is our time, this is our day.
Victory is the aim,
the only thing,
we will proclaim,
And when you go, go all the way.
Old Vince was right, winning is the only thing.
When somebody rocks you,
you must come back.
In this world, there is no replay,
called forth to action on this day,
Get out on the field and get 'em back.
When I play, I play to win,
take my chips cuz I'm all in.
This is our time, this is our day.
Victory is the aim,
the only thing,
we will proclaim,
And when you go, go all the way. - Track Name: The Ballad of The Phoenix Lights
-
They came down to Sin City,
For a St. Patty's Day party
But things were far from pretty,
they started drinking too early.
They hailed from a world that was dry,
a real cosmic bore.
These boys just wanted to get high,
and maybe even score.
So they hid their ship and hit the strip,
didn’t miss a casino,
And they left a trail of wreckage
from the Luxor to the Flamingo.
When the aliens finally showed up,
they did not come to destroy,
No hellfire blaze or cosmic rays,
they came to here to enjoy
the good life that they couldn’t get
on a world beyond the black,
These spacemen just like to party,
are we gonna send them back?
Their foreign livers couldn’t process,
All the booze they did consume,
and the MIBs said they had to leave,
before they trashed their hotel room.
They stumbled back to their ship
grabbed the wheel with one eye closed,
But they took off way too fast,
and then got lost on the way home.
They thought they set the course for their world
and went southeast instead,
the driver said that he was fine,
but he was messed out of his head.
When the aliens finally showed up,
they did not come to destroy,
No hellfire blaze or cosmic rays,
they came to here to enjoy
the good life that they couldn’t get
on a world beyond the black,
These spacemen just like to party,
are we gonna send them back?
When they finally got to Phoenix,
well, it made quite a scene,
Ten thousand people saw their lights,
they knew it couldn’t be a dream.
Mericopa County had a Sheriff Joe
he saw the craft with his own eyes,
he knew he had to pull them down
Intergalactic DUI.
He tracked them down by the mountain range,
And they didn’t try to run,
'License and registration' he said
'You boys have had your fun.
You see this rock ain't for aliens,
specially trouble like y'all,
This planet's for humans only
I’m gonna kick you off our ball.'
When the aliens finally showed up,
they did not come to destroy,
No hellfire blaze or cosmic rays,
they came to here to enjoy
the good life that they couldn’t get
on a world beyond the black,
These spacemen just like to party,
are we gonna send them back?
The driver cried almond eye tears,
and Joe felt a touch of mercy,
Maybe I shouldn’t be so tough,
Maybe these things are just like me.
So he didn’t blast them back to space,
So they didn't have to run.
And now they’re being poked and prodded,
in Area 51!
When the aliens finally showed up,
they did not come to destroy,
No hellfire blaze or cosmic rays,
they came to here to enjoy
the good life that they couldn’t get
on a world beyond the black,
These spacemen just like to party,
Now they’re never going back
These spacemen just wanted better,
now they’re never going back.
They just wanted a better life,
and they’re never going back! - Track Name: Walpurgisnacht

What did I see out behind the mountains
What did you see when you looked at the full moon?
Was it demon wings and hellfire in the sky
Did you see the witches flying for our doom?
The Devil's whores are waiting for their master
Spring time is here and evil's coming after
Walpurgisnacht
Is the night where Satan spreads his seed
Walpurgisnacht
Is the night that challenged my beliefs
Walpurgisnacht
They danced around the Maypole,
The earth made love to the sky
I waited and I prayed for mercy,
But old Scratch never arrived.
So what were we afraid of,
What was the magic spell?
Where was all the the temptation
That would lead me right to Hell?
So i guess that they're not wicked,
I was scared of the wrong stuff,
They're just happy that Winters's over
And want to party in the buff!
Walpurgisnacht
Is the night where we pray for our seed
Walpurgisnacht
Is the night that we renew our beliefs

When we walked among the headstones,
On that August New Moon night,
That marble might have been cold,
But we raised the Fahrenheit.
And a summer is forever with,
not many on your belt,
But you know when the hurtin' hits,
Yeah, the hurtin' hits like Hell.
And you know when the hurtin' hits,
Yeah, The hurtin' hits like Hell.
There’s no point in saying sorry
For these twenty years gone past
No statute of limitations for
Acting like a jackass.
Time is always the best healer
Distance makes things much more clear
Even picking at a scab feels good,
Just in the rearview mirror.
These ghost stories in the dark
Oh my dear you were always game
Stronger than I gave you credit for
But crazy just the same
Tall tales that we tell ourselves
Do their damnedest to dull the pain
And you know every broken heart
Comes with a story
Best told in the dark
Comes with a story
Best told in the dark
Mystery by every corner,
Didn’t matter what we saw,
It wasn’t what we got that made you hot,
It was the quest that burned us raw.
Being on a pedestal just
ain't easy as it would seem.
Well the young should never handle
Something fragile as a dream
I said the young should never handle
Something fragile as a dream
There’s no point in saying sorry
For these twenty years gone past
No statute of limitations for
Acting like a jackass.
Time is always the best healer
Distance makes things much more clear
Even picking at the scab feels good,
Just in the rearview mirror.

Stronger than I gave you credit for
But crazy just the same

-
When you feel like you're a fake
and you just want to run away
the little mask you're wearing breaks
Well, it's okay. Yeah it's okay.
when you think they're giving you the eye
something in you wants to die
when you're just living a lie
just know it's smoke and mirrors anyway
Well you've got your cross to bear
Don't you know, that we all got our weights
And It's not right and it's not fair,
don't you know, it's gonna be okay
It's smoke and mirrors anyway. - Track Name: Digging Up The Dead
-
Rusty nails and rotten wood
And earth in every seam
I spit the dirt out of my mouth
I wake up from a dream to
Be thirsty like I've never been
A constant agony
With the black dog that walks at my back
And damns my memory.
Lord grant us mercy from afar,
forgive the prayers we should have said,
Oh you can burn up my heart,
and eat the ashes that are left,
But you're just digging up the dead.
You're just digging up the dead.
The things that should be left alone
They're not for man to touch
The past is just a shallow grave,
That's best left in the dust.
We keep kicking the pale horse,
'til the blood just turns to rust.
No, you can't beat the Devil,
By remembering too much.
Lord grant us mercy from afar,
forgive the prayers we should have said,
Oh you can burn up my heart,
and eat the ashes that are left,
But you're just digging up the dead.
