1. Psychomania (She's Dead)
She´s in a cold room
Lacking meaning and significance
Sweating out her life
Locked behind the door
The walls are all white
Her mind is a blank
She´s in a cold room
Lacking meaning and significance
Sweating out her life
A dim lit bulb
Glows for hours on end
It´s the only thing to keep the body warm
Out of the room
of the room
Reality is harsh
is harsh
Staring out no windows
no windows
There´s no beating from her heart
from her heart
2. The Bag Lady Song
There´s this little old lady she lives on the streets
She´s got a nappy hair and rags on her feet
Grimy hands and a dirty face
Every night she sleeps in a different place
Sometimes I see her
Downtown bumming change
Actin real crazy
Talking to herself
She wears a tattered old coat in the pouring rain
Drinking cheap wine everyday´s the same
A two dollar bed at the mission tonight
Man that cheese sandwich will sure taste alright
Sometimes I see her
On the street corner
In a shopping cart
She carries her life
3. Inherit the Earth (The Day of Reckoning)
Sun baked bones stripped clean
Fangs sparkle and gleam
Claws drip of freshly shed blood
While the corpses
Of our masses
rot in the mud
Sun falls
As no moon rises
the darkest of nights
Are full of surprises
In the distance a dog howls
Beneath our feet
Lurks something foul
One by one
Bodies rise from the ground
Deafened ears
Hear not a sound
Dead set free
Evil reings supreme
Gather demon clans
By the light of the moon
Feasting on your flesh
The living dead
Time has no meaning
It´s the day we dread
Gazing out eof eyes
Decaying and old
Humanity has fallen
The bell tolls
4. Deception (The Imposters)
Politicians still practice
Practice their diplomacy
Shallow promises
You know they won´t keep...there´s no way
they tell us the lies
Tell us the lies
Practiced in deceit
They tell us the lies
Tell us the lies
Practieced in deceit
Our frustration mounts
At a deadly rate
Isn´t it time they
They got their priorities straight...get it straight
They tell us the lies
Tell us the lies
Practiced in deceit
They tell us the lies
Tell us the lies
Practiced in deceit
5. Molly's Xmas '72
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
6. I'd Love to Change the World
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
I´d love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So I´ll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly
I´d love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So I´ll leave it up to you
World pollution, theres no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I´d love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So I´ll leave it up to you
(Originally written By 10 Years After)
7. You Only Die once
Shooting smack well that´s fine
But I got something quicker
A jagged piece of glass
That otta...do the trick
So gimme...gimme your wrist
Either...one will do
I´ll give it...give it a slice
that´ll be the end of you...you´re dead
You only die once
Let me give you a hand
You only die once
Let me give you a hand
You´re playing...playing with needles
Yeah that´s a lot of fun
Under the seat of my car I got a loaded
A loaded handgun
Let me pull the trigger
Put it up to your head
go ahead pull the pull the trigger
bang...bang you´re dead...bye bye
You only die once
Let me give you a hand
You only die once
Let me give you a hand
A hand
A hand
8. Sick Boy (live)
I'm strapped into my bed, electrodes in my head.
My nerves are really bad, it's the best time I ever had.
I'm a sick boy and there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy, there should be more.
But I'm happy the way I am, like a sardine in a can.
People taking notes, people in white coats.
I see school girls everywhere, short skirts and pigtailed hair.
But why must I suffer, for being a gymslip lover ?
(Originally written by GBH)
9. Chicago
10. Starved to Death (Eatin' Your Buddies)
Retreat
To the
Empty safety
Of the womb
Behind
Forgotten doors
Sealed in your tomb
In the back
Of your head
You hear this laughing
Trapped here
for so long
Your mind is cracking
Evil thoughts
You no longer control
Starvation growing
Taking its toll
Bodies crushed
They lay everywhere
You´re so hungry
They won´t care
Skin pulled tight
Bones poking through
Insatiable hunger
You must satisfy
Rotting flesh
That´s what´s in store
Hungers sharp pains
You can´t ignore
You won´t go to bed hungry
No not tonight
This flesh is so tender
You don´t even need a knife...eatin´ yer buddies
11. War = Death '88 (And Beyond)
The war goes on everyday
We´re not fighting there ain´t no way
Turn off the news on your T.V.
Fooling yourself...you won´t fool me
Push a button the missle´s armed
Wake up the planet´s gone
Billions spent on their power games
Dead men now forgotten games
War = death and death
Death is cold
We´re all facing death
War = death
And death is cold
Are we all facing death
12. The Maddest Story Ever Told
Screams and moans and bats and bones
Teenage monsters in haunted homes
The ghost on the stair
A vampire's bite
Better beware
There's a full moon tonight!
Aoooooooooooooh!
Cannibal spiders creep and crawl
Boys and ghouls having a ball
Frankenstein, Dracula, and even the Mummy
Are sure to end up in somebody's tummy! Heh heh heh!
Aoooooooooooooh!
Take a fresh rodent, some toadstools and weeds
And add an old owl and the young one she breeds
Mix in seven legs from an eight-legged beast
And then you're all set for a cannibal feast!
Aoooooooooooooh!
Sit round a fire with this cup of brew
A fiend and a werewolf on each side of you
This cannibal orgy is strange to behold
In the maddest story ever told!
Aoooooooooooooh!
(From The Movie known as Spider Baby, or The Maddes Story Ever Told 1968)
13. Intro (From the Tingler)
14. Scared of the Dark
Disguised as the beast
In the shadow I sit
Lurking in the dark
I´m the fears in your mind
I´ve got you on the run
You´re scared to death
Like a beast in the cellar
The fears in your mind
I´m the barbed hook
The needle in the hay
A fence enclosing your dreams
the fears in your mind
You tell yourself
You must mow down this thing
Destroy the emotions
That plague your thoughts
Scared of the dark
Why don´t you
Stay awake
A little bit longer
the next time
You fall asleep
It may be forever...scared of the dark
15. Losing Your Mind
The memories slowly slip away
Your brain rotting more everyday
Can´t remember friends of old
Withered and grey they surround you
Losing...losing your mind
You haven´t got a clue
I hold your hand
You wonder why
Squeeze it real tight
I can´t help but cry
Lead you to your room
It´s dark and bare
Nothing left for you
You just sit
Sit and stare
Sit and stare
Sit and stare
Sit and stare
16. Smothered Her Trust
Your own daughter
You smothered her trust
Soul drenched forever
The memory your lust
She was your creation of your blood
But you didn´t think twice how she felt
As long as your cravings were satisfied
She didn´t know any better...know any better
What you did to her she didn´t like
She was your darling little flower
Stripped of petals now just stem
Her colourful souls peeled to black
A tear rips out the glow of your child´s eye
Daddy deprived her of the privacy of her body and mind
Your daughter was good at keeping secrets
too bad she wasn´t a little bit older
then baybe she would have understood
That you used her to your sickening advantage
The crying has drowned her happiness
She screams the screams that nobody hears
17. Lights Out
There's nothing more you can leave behind
So forget about seeing, get into your mind
Everything looks better when the world is black
Grab a fork, make the first attack
Lights out!
Poke poke, poke your eyes out
Lights out!
Put a pen in your hand, poke your eyes out
I can't see too well, what's it all about?
Well I dunno man, did you poke your eyes out?
Sure thing, I did it today, startin' to get hip to the lights out way
Lights out!
Poke poke, poke your eyes out
Lights out!
[Put yourself on the floor], roll all about
If you poke too far you reach the front of your brain
Fork in your mind can drive you insane!
Don't worry much, just let it rip, today your eyeballs do the lights out trip
Lights out!
Put a pen in your hand, poke your eyes out
Lights out!
Poke poke, poke your eyes out
Lights out!
Put an ax in your head, poke your eyes out!
