Love Is Strange
04:04
|

Love
Where have you gone?
‘Cause I can’t feel you in my heart
Have you moved on?
Love
Why you so strange?
I don’t wanna play along
This wicked game
‘Cause I will never
I will never
Be the same
Love
In slow decay
At the bottom of my heart
There’s no escape
Love
The bitter taste
I still taste you on my tongue
I get no relief
I will never
I will never
Be the same
Oh the truth can hit so hard
Lies will leave a nasty scar
The heart ruptures and deranges
Her love is strange
I will never
I will never
Be the same
Ever
I have changed
Never
Be the same
Never
Ever
Love is strange
Love is strange
Her love is strange
Her love is…

My Weakness
04:19
|
|||
I woke from a dream
I heard angels calling me over
To the other side of heaven’s door
I had to wake couldn’t take it no more
‘Cause I brood and I seethe
I lust and I feen
A love that’s pure unnatural
I can’t restrain myself no more
She’s my weakness
Oh my weakness
The scratch I gotta itch
Oh lord I must confess
My weakness
My heart’s a mess
Just thinking ’bout that kiss
She’s a drug I want so hard to wanna kick
Out on the ledge she loosens my grip
Now I rust and I bleed
I’m sick and diseased
I’ll never knock on heaven’s door
When I’m dead lay me deep n’ low
She’s my weakness
Oh my weakness
The scratch I gotta itch
Oh lord I must confess
My weakness
Girl I need you
I would bleed for you
Deep red blood until my well runs dry
She’s my weakness
Oh my weakness
The scratch I gotta itch
Oh lord I must confess
Oh my weakness
She’s my weakness
The scratch I gotta itch
Oh lord I must confess
The smack I gotta hit
She knows I can’t resist
Scratch that itch
Confess
She is my weakness

The Boogie Woogie
02:48
|
|||
I could creep into your mind
If you would welcome me inside
I could slip in through a vein
Relieve your pain for a while
We all need to escape
The tension of real life
Release the rat from the maze
Or let the pressure build inside
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie Woogie Woogie
The Boogie I’ll be your
Your Boogie Woogie Woogie
So are you hip to the scene
Partake in the sickest disease
Yeah with the kids it’s a hit
Lose your mind just to forget
I’m just the latest craze
You know I’m all the rage
Knocking door to door
Sweeping through your town
I go
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie Woogie Woogie
The Boogie I’ll be your
Your Boogie Woogie Woogie
So now I got my talons sunk in
And the habit worn your soul thin
Chemical parasite
I’m leeching underneath your skin
I am the latest craze
You’re just a rat in a maze
Knocking door to door
Sweeping through your town
I’m calling ya
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie
The Boogie Woogie Woogie
The Boogie I’ll be your
I am the Boogie Woogie Woogie

The Hurt
03:42
|
|||
I can’t hold back
The hurt
Momma, my baby
Oh the hurt
That awful pain
My poor heart strains
Oh the hurt
I can’t go on
The hurt
Living like this
Oh the hurt
I’ll go insane
My worn mind strays
Oh the hurt
You cut me down
With your whipping switch
Blow after blow
I feel bewitched
But momma can you feel
The winds of change
I’m gonna leave you girl
But never be the same
Oh the hurt
Oh the hurt
You cut me down
With your whipping switch
Blow after blow
I feel bewitched
But momma can you hear
That midnight train
I’m gonna leave you girl
You know i must refrain
Oh oh oh from the hurt
Oh the hurt
The hurt

Ode To Ol' John Doe
03:31
|
|||
The river is wide
When the tide is high
Harboring you
Innocence hides
The devil inside
Deep in you
From the sea
Through the reeds
Creatures take you
Piece by piece
And there he lays
Just under the waves
Through and through
The river she cries
And the willow replied
Don’t weep for him
Now the hour is late
The witch will awake
To stir her brew
Mosquitos are rife
Eat you alive
Prick by prick
They stuck you dry
A lone violin
For the killer within
Cries for you
The amber it bleeds
Down from the trees
In a silent hue
Above in the sky
The all-seeing eye
Glares down at you
Only heaven knows
What in hell bellows
And it pulls you down
Bone by bone
And there you’ll stay
In a fiery grave
Sealed in doom

Everything Always
02:22
|

Satan trade my soul
Sex, drugs, alcohol
I can’t get my fill
The thrill of the kill
Yeah
Blow it away
Blow it away
Blow it away
Everything always
Excess overflows
Roll it, smoke it all
Never-ending trip
My head on a stick
Yeah
Blow it away
Blow it away
Blow it away
Everything always
I can’t stop now tasted forbidden fruit
Life on high I’m drunk on the juice
Taste it! Serpent tempt’ the brutes
Doe-eyed n’ strung out from God’s noose
Everything always
Everything always
Everything always
Everything oww
Satan trade my soul
Sex, drugs, alcohol
I can’t get my fill
The thrill of the…
Blow it away (Everything always)
Blow it away (Everything always)
Blow it away (Everything always)
Blow it away (Everything always)

The Slew
05:17
|
|||
I was a man, who’s name, has escaped me
Caught in the grip, of a death, I’m erasing
And as I flew, I could see, all my failings
One step removed, from the slew, I am fading out
Fading
Swooning the slew, endless dream, of new being
Formed on the wind, the first breath, of born babies
Almost could see, came to be, how you made me
Thrust from her womb, un-cocooned, I came pouring out
Pouring out
Pouring out
Pouring out
Pouring
Deep in my bones, through my soul, ruminating
Now I foresee, it’s but a dream, my own making
Calls from the slew, déjà vs, recollecting
This will repeat, c’est la vie, spiral round
And then?
And then?
The slew is calling you
The slew
The slew is calling you
The slew
The slew is calling you
The slew
The slew is calling you
The slew
I was a man, who’s name, has escaped me
Caught in the grip, of a death, I’m erasing
And as I flew, I could see, all my failings
One step removed, from the slew, I am fading out
And out
The slew is calling you
The slew
The slew is calling you
The slew

The Highway
03:46
|
|||
Out on the highway
A killer broods in everyone
The world in decay
In flames under burning sun
We scattered our thorns now run barefoot
There’s an ill wind blowing that blows no good
Out on the highway baby
Will the good in us overcome?
Out on the highway
There’s salvation through a loaded gun
Whatever it takes
To escape from what is coming
Wolves come out of the deep dark woods
When the smell of fear just tastes too good
Out on the highway baby
Could you do it when the time comes?
Yeh the highway
The worst in man has overrun
The world has derailed
At the hands of devil’s sons
The horse has run, slipped through our reins
Step out of the pan and into the flames
Yeh the highway baby
The nightmare has just begun

Angler
05:16
|
|||
Over the fortress wall
Head down the darkest hole
Travel the dead end road
Your trail has long gone cold
Journey into the deep
A dream within a dream
Your mind dialed
And I answered the call
The longest corridor
Leads to an unhinged door
The point of no return
Plunge to oblivion
I’ve waited centuries
Sharpening ten thousand teeth
And just when
You thought all hope was gone
