How could I fool you, rest and assure you
Take you off from here and put you on the line Your back's to the pistol, iron bullets whistle Landscapes open and the world it's mine, it's still mine OD'd on life, life itself (repeat twice) Writings appear on the wall Curtains part and landscapes fall It's the writings done in blood Like a mummy's inscription And a bat wing tongue Well then the mouth of the cave Will open up wide, wide as the world That's mine, mine, still mine So don't you fear the trade in lives Life loves force and force loves lives This wedding in heaven was made up in hell This victim as bride and life, life itself OD'd on life, life itself (repeat ad nauseam |

Riding the underground, swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below, hey cop don't you know? The heat's on alright The hot summer day didn't quit for the night 1277 express to heaven, speeding along like dynamite 1277 express to heaven, rumbles the steel like a dogfight You caught me in it's spell Trying to leave but you know darn well The heat from below can burn your eyes out Blackened out eyes, scratched on a wall Stoned out looks from the crowd, the king will not know On the wall it was said The flash of his cards was sprayed with red 1277 express to heaven, speeding along like dynamite 1277 express to heaven, rumbles the steel like a dogfight You caught me in it's spell Trying to leave but you know darn well The heat from below can burn your eyes out |

I had this bitch you see, she made lies to me
Her deceit, oh, it gave me a chill But I found out now, that baby that baby ice dog She said, we would wed in Mongolian country Lilies shoot free, but she was snowing me In the mountains, oh, her intent was all too clear It was quite a sin, how the ice caved in I was numb, I could not assist Baby ice went down through cold cold cold ground I said baby, that's the breaks Leading me around like broke down hound dog Crossing me once too often Now she's bound for a lower station She crossed me once too often And now the ladies all fear this Mongolian man With ice down his face you know I could get them involved In unnatural acts with the aid of my cold cold stare They'd like to make it with my big black dog But they just don't know how to ask You know they'd like to try anything that comes into your mind Oh freeze on freeze on freeze on bone to bone |

Flights of black horseman soar over churches
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain None of them can see the clouds, the polished wings don't care Animal ways through the hazy dreams full of pain Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground It all turns around, in the end The voices sound deadly, sometimes I hear Echoes of empires, spread throughout the sky Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground It all turns around, in the end Flights of black horseman soar over churches Pursued by an army of birds in the rain Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground It all turns around, in the end |

She got less than you or I, she got less than me (repeat)
She get, she get tired, she gets tired She got more than you or I, she got more than me (repeat) She get, she get wild, she gets wild Balling all night balling all day, she won't ball on me (repeat) She will, she will die, she will die, she don't care Crying all night, crying all day, she will cry for me (repeat) She will, she will smile, she will smile She will die, she will die, she don't care |

Down in the garden district
Where the plants grow strong and tall Behind the bush there lurks a girl Who makes them strong and tall Villagers call her: quicklime girl Behind her back: quicklime girl Behind the bush: quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt: quicklime girl In the fall when plants return By harvest time, she knows the score Ripe and ready to the eye But rotten somehow to the core Villagers call her: quicklime girl Behind her back: quicklime girl Behind the bush: quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt: quicklime girl A harvest of life, or harvest of death One body of life, one body of death And when you've gone and choked to death With laughter and a little step I'll prepare the quicklime, friend For your ripe and ready grave It's springtime now and cares subside And the planting's almost done And fertile graves, it seems, exist Within a mile of that duke's joint Where coast guard crews still take their leave Lying listless in the sun And the quick lime girl still plies her trade The reduction of the many from the one And they call her: quicklime girl Behind her back: quicklime girl Behind the bush: quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt: quicklime girl A harvest of life, a harvest of death Resumes it's course each day Because it exists by schedule A harvest to live, ............................... And those that crawl, and those that chirp And next life's swans that seem to turn |

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights Reins of steel, and it's alright Cities on flame, with rock and roll Marshal will buoy, but Fender control Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll My heart is black, and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll |
