------------------------------------------ YOUR PRETTY FACE: Flames are going to lick your pretty face It's getting too hard to breathe Flames are going to lick your pretty face It's getting too hot to breathe You can inhale... but surprise, surprise, it leads to your demise. ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ GOOD OLD ED GEIN: He used to babysit my kids sometimes and don't you know they all turned out fine old Ed Gein was a friend of mine I never spoke bad about his mother because we all know what happened to his brother old Ed Gein was a friend of mine OLD ED GEIN WAS A FRIEND OF MINE OLD ED GEIN WAS A FRIEND OF MINE He decided to decorate his home all he needed was fresh skin and some bones old Ed Gein was a friend of mine he stumbled in a trance, stumbled in a daze what do you know, he robbed a couple of graves old Ed Gein was a friend of mine OLD ED GEIN WAS A FRIEND OF MINE OLD ED GEIN WAS A FRIEND OF MINE He pulled me to the side and he said maybe I think I want to be a lady old Ed Gein was a friend of mine he loved to dress up, loved to pretend he made costumes from human flesh old Ed Gein was a friend of mine ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ FAR FROM SAFETY: I'm pacing the streets and my fists are clenched I'm spitting blood, breathing this towns foul stench replaying moments, trying to make some sense and combing the pavement for pounds and pence Out of options and out of luck there's no place to go, it looks like I'm stuck I slammed the door for the last time never going back, will never swallow my pride FAR FROM SAFETY, FAR FROM GRACE FAR FROM SAFETY, THIS FAMILIAR PLACE Searching for comfort, it can't be found wary of silence, fearful of sound foxes rummage through nearby bins still trying to take it all on the chin I've got to find somewhere to rest my head my mind's awake but my body's dead sleeping rough tonight, with no company threats and promises they mean nothing to me ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ THE BALLAD OF ABE SADA: There's no need to leave the room or even the bed we'll be drinking and fucking for days on end but I can't stand for us to be apart and you won't leave without a beating heart I thought this was the end but it's just the start We feel the thrill of subjugation and power as our sex games pass the minutes and the hours you asked me not to stop, although it was a joke when you sleep again I will continue to choke you know both our lives are going up in smoke IF I CANT HAVE YOU, NO ONE WILL ALTHOUGH SECRECY PROVIDES SUCH A THRILL TRUE LOVE WILL FUEL MY NEED TO KILL After the act there'll be a sense of calm and I'll reflect as I caress your arm from the bed eventually I'll rise with a sudden urge to fetch myself a knife I couldn't bare to share you with another woman or your wife I'll take a souvenir to keep by my side so we can be together until I end my life just know that my motive was love and not jealousy and I'll keep the piece that meant the most to me and in time they'll be writing novels and making terrible movies ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ SIX FEET UNDER: Clawing at the coffin lid screaming as I bang my head my eyes adapt quickly to the darkness I feel the warmth of my own piss ENGULFED BY FEAR IF TRUTH BE TOLD MY HEARTBEAT RACES, I LOSE CONTROL AND I JUST WOKE UP, SIX FEET UNDER I JUST WOKE UP, SIX FEET UNDER Fingernails all caked in blood muscles ache and knuckles numb splinters, scratches and desperation panic, dread and suffocation Crying out with my tears streaming I struggle to control my breathing I can't accept this is my fate although I know there's no escape I feel the walls start closing in pray for help, repent my sins my mind scrambles for an explanation but there will be no salvation ------------------------------------------

Jonestown 02:31
------------------------------------------ JONESTOWN: THEY'VE GOT A LEADER WHO THINKS HE'S JESUS I've never heard a man speak like this before sermons are jumping like a rocking dance floor spread a message of love and equality and helping those in need in poor communities He will be your friend, your father, your saviour there's no way back and dissent is betrayal noble ideals have now been twisted a hell on earth and these victims enlisted To prove your devotion sure takes a lot agree to be poisoned or end up shot when your messiah shows his true face you've got to admit that it's been a mistake Cut off from the world in complete isolation how can you question these divine decisions drugs, paranoia, talk of conspiracy well in the end they gained death, not liberty ------------------------------------------

Manhattan 02:41
------------------------------------------ MANHATTAN: Hey Little Boy, hey Fat Man born and raised in Manhattan hey Little Boy, hey Fat Man bringers of death and destruction BLAST! FIRE! RADIATION! AND SICKNESS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION BLAST! FIRE! RADIATION! UNPRECEDENTED... DEVASTATION! Hey Little Boy, hey Fat Man strut your stuff for Joe Stalin hey Little Boy, hey Fat Man did you really believe it was a righteous plan? ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ SON OF A WITCH: I'm the one who sacrifices your livestock corrupts your children and poisons your crop because casting spells is so much fun when evil is in your blood I'M A SON OF A WITCH A GOD DAMNED SON OF A WITCH I'm the reason why your wife is distant and why your daughter has unholy interests you can sell your soul to gain an insight dancing naked under the full moons light I made a deal with you know who now I can do things that you can't do I wear his mark like a badge of pride and I control the forces of the night ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ STRAIGHTJACKET: I'm tired of looking through medicated eyes and I don't want to hide myself beneath a disguise BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET I'm pacing like an animal, I feel unwell I am tired of dancing in this padded cell BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET My mind, my brain is a total mess and my body, my soul, I'm a nervous wreck BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET it's a crazy world in which we remain so why is it considered strange to feel insane? BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET Just shut up and be the same you're a number, you're not a name spend your money and waste your time to fit in and live a lie never dare to deviate you're too afraid and too ashamed you can't express and you can't confide a prisoner of your own life just shut up and be the same just shut up and be the same you're a number, not a name I can't shake the feeling that I've been enslaved could there be more to life than being well behaved? BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET I've been shaped and moulded from an early age and it's about time that I leave this cage BREAK OUT THE STRAIGHTJACKET ------------------------------------------

about
