--- "Whiplash" Taken from the Fish Single "A Gentleman's Excuse Me" ---
Hang a left, turn a right, we're driving through the night
We're on the road with Fred
Any time, anywhere, we'll be sure to get you there
That's the road with Fred
With his foot right to the floor, there's a corner coming on,
Whiplash!
He'll overtake anywhere, he doesn't really care
That's the road with Fred
Through rain, and snow, and fog, you sit and pray to God
And place your faith in Fred
You've got to close your eyes, so you'll never get surprised
By whiplash!
(a bridge)
Chew your nails right to the bone, you're on the wrong side of the road
On the right side of Fred
A collision coming on, you pray the brakes are gonna hold
On the road with Fred
A nut is loose behind the wheel, hear that rubber squeal
For whiplash!
Hang a left, turn a right, driving through the night
On the road with Fred
Any time any where, We'll be sure to get you there
On the road with Fred
He's got a mobile telephone, but you pray that no one comes
For whiplash.

You're gonna get whiplash you're gonna get that don't pack up your bags but get back.
Jesus the Saviour, the only Creator don't you know Jesus will never let you go.
Mercenary destructor the mind bent destroyer.
The pleasure pot of leisure the blood infector.
Demon possessor who tries to molest you, just try and get out 'cause a lie will test you.
Blank your mind expands all the time grabbing things from the past
but Jesus the Saviour, the only Creator don't you know Jesus will never let you go.
Shine down. Rain down. Fall down on me.
Slide down. Fly down one word and you're set free.
I've seen in my life the moments when He has moved in me.
I know He exists for the reasons that others deny inside to see.
Take a look to the sky for your pot of gold
You can hear every cloud story to be told
Listen close what is this
Not bird or plane
Could it be the H bomb fucking with your brain
Even if you'd seen it you never would believe it
Even in your sleep you would never dream it
The bomb is falling fast nothing's going to stop it
How will you know that you're the last man alive
All it takes just one touch over one, two, three
With a flick of a switch turn on World War 3
With a flash there will be no one left alive
Search the earth just to find worldwide homicide
Metal mass cuts the wind whistling through its course
Suddenly crashing down hits the ground full force
Aims to kill one and all bursting into flames
(Lyrics: Tony Portaro, Music: Tony Portaro/Tony Bono)
A bomb explodes in your head, it's one of those days
You should have stayed in bed, something's gone wrong
Nothing's gone right, eternal eyes will take you alive
It's a fact of life, it's a fact of death - eternal eyes
Are you dead or alive, can't get them out of your face
Can't get them out of your mind, you'll never escape
With two feet in your grave
The moon is full one dark evil night
A blood curdling chill perilous fight
The fog is thick the clouds set in
A twist of fate a night of sin
The howl of the wolf a dark evil power
Creeps down your spine it's the witching hour
The minute you fall to the hands of the flame
Evil will take its course, it's all over
The wicked witch's mission is through
Once the bubbling brew has tasted you
The eye of newt and fang of bat
A pinch of this a pinch of that
An odor lurks from burning skin
The spice of life the cauldron will win
The chanting is done devour your stew
Get on the go over and done plotting the plan of attack
It's time to fly over the stage high above each Marshall stack
Passing the guard making the move scale the P.A. to the top
End the first verse past the bass bins not fearing the 30 foot drop
Thrash to kill blood will spill
Now that you've met your match and nothing will suffice
Airborn offering thrashing sacrifice
Stealing the show eyes of the crowd focus of activity
Forty feet high moment of fame going down in history
Begin the flight splitting the smoke a swan dive into the sky
Night falls and she's out there walking the street
Hiding sking to dog the blue coats on the beat
The heat is on her tail tonight like never before
Down on twenty seventh street where she breaks the law
She bares her body to entice
Another john to pay the price
She earns her living on her back
Her legs spread wide apart forevermore
Moonlight's staring down at red bomb from above
Tonight there will be no sex there'll be no lust
Never doubt at any time she's worth the fee
If you lay your money down then you'll agree
Once she's in your sight long legs and red hair strike your appetite
Time that you lock eyes with the red bomb try her on for size
You'll do what you want, take what you will cause she's no cheap thrill
Alone again, it never fails
Always seems to happen to me
Just when I think I've got it all,
Along comes fate, it all falls to the floor
Naïve but yet so conscious
Of the grim reality that I endure
I never won this game before,
Why does it happen to me?
I'm alive, but I'm not winning,
The life that I live, tell me who I to blame?
I'm so broke but I survive,
Can't keep up with modern times
It all costs more than I can afford,
Why should a man have to beg for more?
I see the rich get richer
While the poor survive day by day, it's wrong
I'm sick of all that I endure
The world where I belong
I'm alive, but I'm not winning
The life I live, tell me who am I to blame?
So alive, my head is spinning, my mind keeps turning,
Life is killing me.
It's always me who hits the wall,
The only man to take the fall
I fall onto my knees and cry,
Cause everything I have just died
I try so hard to make it
In a world so cold, it's rotten to the cire
But I'll keep trying more and more
Ruthless and evil lies that deceive
Meaningless virtues knee deep in greed
I am the master with the iron fist
I am the master no one knows exists
I am the master I'll take your life
I am the master I'll spit on your grave
Taking advantage guilty as sin
And into the cauldron where no one can win
Thrown down and stepped on and knifed in the back
[Outro]
Inject it into the blood directly into the vein
Metal assault on the ear feeling it flow to the brain
It can get under the skin the power metal syringe
It puts an end to all pain another headbanger singed
Breathe the metal in the air feel power everywhere
Taste, here's a double dose to take a fix of power thrashing death
Scream at the top of your lungs it's time to let yourself go
There is no lesson to learn get up, get into the show
The power to satisfy those who react to high speed
With an evil life comes an evil fate
Only a question of time to open the gate
It's a fact that you're going to die
By tomorrow you'll be crucified
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
You stand erect no life left
Your soul's been robbed lucifer's theft
Consciousness loneliness at the top
Must confess but it's too late for them to stop
A frowning face falls from out of the sky
Spitting blood head of a demon from hell
And you're left without a soul to sell
Double cross, eternity in hell
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the
Black act of injustice brought by the wizard of evil
Cast death and corruption who left the message in blood?
Death reign cleanse the earth it's the ageless night
The world's end is near wrong outnumbers right
What's left helter skelter look read between the lines
No one knows exactly how to crawl inside his head
Spitting on him
Pulling hair
Won't rest until they're dead
Teasing, taunting everyday
The morning bus to school
Playground in the afternoon
Sits back and plays the fool
The underdog
Bears its teeth
The boiling point
The line is breached
Throw the stone
Cast the rage
Swallow the slaughter
The debt is paid
Over and over again
Young man joins the military
Shiny, brand new gun
Shipped halfway around the world
A war that can't be won
Captured by the enemy
The hope of life does fade
Thinking quick the fight or flight
Enables an escape
Years gone by
The test of time
Has made some harsh demands
Constitution fading as the radiation scans
Gone through life and war
Only to have it end this way
Doctor has the test results
Hands tremble
The last brick has been placed
Trapped in a wall of stone
Buried without a trace
Left to rot to the bone
Two men had been close friends
Fought a war side by side
Greed and lust lead to the end
One man buried alive
[Chorus]
The undead has life
Essence of Evil
Crawling and crawling
Stair after stair
It cries in the night
Essence of Evil
Revenge on the one
That has put it there
So one talks of a truce
He lures the other to his home
Let us drink and forget
The reason we walk alone
A smile on his face
But murder is on his mind
A taste of poison too late
How could he have been so blind
[Chorus]
Upstairs the killer sleeps
As its clawing tooth and nail
Raw flesh finds loose stone
It escapes from its jail
And now the killer wakes
As the door swings open wide
The essence has sealed his fate
There is nowhere to hide
Dangerous, threatening warfare
Explodes everywhere
Diving for cover
Smoke and sand fly through the air
Insurgences are coming
Nowhere to hide
Focus is sharp
Decisions is made to survive
Run, flee, escape
Choose your own fate
Mommy says go for the eyes
Will you live or die?
Fight or flight
Grazing solitude
Zebras out in the plains
Lion is hunting
Adrenaline pumping through veins
Predators spotted
Zebras reply
Shuffling fast
Escape or they meet their demise
Saber tooth, razor-sharp tiger
Stalks early man
Caveman is startled
Primitive weapons in hand
Fierce tiger growling
Eyeing the prize
Smashing its head
Window of destiny
Slams shut on the hand of trust
Fate sealed in misery
Eternity to readjust
Yesterday's memory
Swarmed with desire and lust
A black cloud hangs over your head
Tomorrow hangs by a thread
Only my memory serves
Captured by this war of nerves
Forever is merely tomorrow
Watching you savor my wine
With every taste, I admire
Intimacy of sighs
Sharing the heat of the fire
My life is incomplete
Yet memories motivate and inspire
A black cloud hangs over your head
Tomorrow hangs by a thread
Only my memory serves
Captured by this war of nerves
Forever is merely tomorrow
A black cloud hangs over your head
Tomorrow hangs by a thread
Only my memory serves
Captured in this war of nerves
Ones your souls at rest
That's when you'll cofess
Cut you down to size
Make you realize
That you not so tough
Say you've had enough
What it takes to learn
On the cross you'll burn
You must respect the dead
That's where your future lies
You must respect the dead
Or they'll rip out your eyes
When you in your tomb
You will meet with doom
Cause you've cursed the dead
Better left unsaid
You'll regret the days
That you've spit on graves
Now your time has come
You immortal scum
[Repeat chorus]
[Lead]
[1st verse]
Strive for every drop to soothe the savage need
Thrive, the pleasure, virtility freed
Bleed, a tear of blood comes trickling down the face
Plead, there's not another moment to waste
Stab
Annihilate
Devastate
The weak and the weary will never survive
Stab
Terminate
Eliminate
You'll treasure your very moment alive
Free from chains of bonded abnormality
Flee the lesson of mortality
Bear, endure this unholy atrocity
Swear, this unexpected calamity
Stab
Annihilate
Devastate
The weak and the weary will never survive
Stab
Terminate
Eliminate
You'll treasure your very moment alive
Face to face with the supreme authority
Taste the flavor of the fatality
Seal the fate of every entity on Earth
Feel the purity of creations birth
Stab
Annihilate
Devastate
The weak and the weary will never survive
Stab
Terminate
Eliminate
A question of honour and integrity
Belief in the privilege of equality
Determination and presence of mind
The greatest justice in all mankind
The day that the masses have authority
We will be lead by the majority
Escape from the grip held by those who betray
With passion to seize the American Way
The Truth
Betrayed
The Free
Enslaved
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
Nails in me deep
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
Nails in me deep
I must tell you something I think you should know
Maintain a firm grip and there's no letting go
The gift of freedom called democracy
Certainly has it's nails dug deep in me
You're stripped of salvation, won't you recognize
The diplomatic defamation paralyze
Deprived of rights and raped of dignity
Oppression, suppression and tyranny
The Truth
Betrayed
The Free
Enslaved
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
Nails in me deep
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
Nails in me deep
A question of honour and integrity
Belief in the privilege of equality
Determination and presence of mind
The greatest justice in all of mankind
The day that the masses have authority
We will be lead by the majority
Escape from the grip held by those who betray
With passion to seize the American Way
The Truth
Betrayed
The Free
Enslaved
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
Nails in me deep
Never Stop Fighting
There's freedom to reap
Forever loyal
[Lyrics: Tony Portaro/Joe Cangelosi, Music: Tony Portaro]
What is seen
Through the eyes of the crippled mind
No wasted time
No wasted line
Unforseen death What a seen
When the terror of the mind
Is craving evil lines
Confusion time
One step closer to...
Lust decides your fate
So the seeds will grow
Snow will dominate
Life is left to blow
Living dream, illusion being
Strength evolves from stimulation
The minds railng
Another gram is blown, eyes gleam
Numbness felt through the veins
Surging
The nose burning
Never learning
One step closer to...
Hell inside the soul
Melts into the brain
Life is uncontrolled
Victim of cocaine
Dream your life, life's a dream
Another line, a deadly scheme
You will pay
Through the nose
An evil plot to get the blow
You will see, you are left
With nothing more, you bargained for
The money's gone, left in despair
You coming down, what you can't bear
Hell inside the soul melts into the brain
Life is uncontrolled, victim of cocaine
Conscious will never recover
Temptations taking control
Body's rejecting the substance
School of the wasted enrolled
Evil prevails to take over
Something like driving while blind
Reality must take cover
Methedrine
Benzedrine
Nicotine
Wash it down with alcohol, your fine and...
Amphetamine
Dexedrine
Caffeine
Guess its time to snort another line
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
Then you'll learn that the punishment is twice the crime
Cocaine
Fast lane
Mary Jane
Now turn on the ultraviolet light
First a red
Then a white
Nearly dead
A hand full of black, you'll sleep tonight
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
Then you'll learn that the punishment is twice the crime
Morphine
Codeine
Thorazine
Anything to help anesthetize
Lidocaine
Inhumane
No restrain
Take control of the enemy inside
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
While we wait for an answer
On how we should live
You feel like a cancer
On all that we give
All the sermons you're giving
From your pulpit so tall
Yeah, you're making a living
One the blind faith of all
And no one believes you
And yourself still deceives you
Every time you say you're sorry
You bleed a little of me out
Every time you change your story
You've got one less to lie to now
While they all kneel repenting
To heaven they cry
Their god they're resenting
As lives go awry
You speak of damnation
How they're led astray
You secure their salvation
With money they pay
You lead them to follow
Orations of sorrow
Every time you say you're sorry
You bleed a little of me out
Every time you change your story
You've got one less to lie to now
While we wait for an answer
On how we should live
You feel like a cancer
On all that we give
You speak of damnation
How they're led astray
You secure their salvation
With money they pay
Every time you say you're sorry
You bleed a little of me out
Every time you change your story
You've got one less to lie to now.
You lead them to follow
You'll repent tomorrow
Every lie, it cuts and scars me
It bleeds a little of me out
Every time you change your story
I'm lying here, I cannot move
With nothing left for me to prove
With all the signs of life removed
Embalmed, eternally entombed
This emptiness I feel inside
I'm all alone, I wonder why
What left me here, what suicide
Left me with eyes that cannot cry
What's left unsaid remains that way
Words now lie dead - I cannot say
What's left unsaid is gone today
Words now lie dead - I'll never say
You're running out of air it seems
Like you've been killed in all your dreams
Blood trickling down in blues and greens
In neverending horror scenes
Your life is built on stone as cold
As the empty shell that held your soul
There ain't no guilt down in this hole
You're here for good - or so I'm told
What's left unsaid remains that way
Words now lie dead - I cannot say
What's left unsaid is gone today
Words now lie dead - I'll never say
What's left unsaid is just a shell
To show you who has gone to hell
I wish I could have one more try
Just watch the hellfires in my eyes
You can't escape from where you'll lay
Non sense of time, no night or day
No sight or sound in where you'll stay
We wouldn't have you anyway
So when the time has come you'll know
Your heart won't beat and your blood won't flow
Remember when you're left below
That I'm the one who told you so
What's left unsaid remains that way
Words now lie dead - I cannot say
What's left unsaid is gone today
Nocturnal light from deadly suns
Illuminates my fate
Concussions all around me
In my trench I shake and wait
Nausea overwhelms me
The dead fill every space
They wait for resurrections
Bullets ripping past my face
I see the wounded falling
Grimaces they wore
Soldiers and civilians
They died the rich and poor
All are consumed by fire
Bodies turned to rags
Mothers only sons
Returned to them in bags
The final plan unfurled
No relief till all has died
The extinction of the world
In a blast of cyanide
Unsparing shrapnel tears through flesh
Merciless round by round
Like seeds the bodies scattered
Too dense to see the ground
The deafening siege of fire power
Roaring for days on end
No one's going home now
And there's not much left to send
All are consumed by fire
Bodies turned to rags
Mothers only sons
Returned to them in bags
The deafening siege of fire power
Roaring for days on end
No one's going home now
There's not much left to send
The final plan unfurled
No relief till all has died
The extinction of the world
There's a killing on Monroe Street
It happened right before my eyes
With deadly action
Come satisfaction
And you can hear the victims cries
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
There's a riot
Down on Jackson
The raging angry mob you fear
Deadly axe licks
Double bass kicks
It's an assault upon the ears
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
There's a killing on Monroe Street
It happened right before my eyes
With deadly action
Come satisfaction
And you can hear the victims cries
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
We like it faster than lightning
We'll have it no other way
So fast that it can get frightening
Thrash it out day after day
Never enough satisfaction
Can't get the Marshall's past ten
Live in the heat of the action
Metal devides mice from men
No compromise we will thrash til' death
Feel the drums pounding like thunder
Guitar riffs cut through the air
Casting a spell you'll be under
Thrashing 'til death unaware
Metal will flow through your bloodstream
Take over your body and mind
You'll never stop your headbanging
Raising your fists to the sky
No compromise we will thrash 'til death
We like it faster than lightning
We'll have it no other way
So fast that it can get frightening
Thrash it out day after day
Never enough satisfaction
Can't get the Marshall's past ten
Live in the heat of the action
Metal devides mice from men
No compromise we will thrash 'til death
The lines are all shut down
And your eyes are turned away
I can tell I'm getting nowhere
With the words I say
Words falling on deaf ears
As you dream of something new
I know you're going nowhere
And nothing I can do
Nobody promised you life in hell
You're not dreaming
You whispered for someone to help
Now you're screaming
Now, I see the loss in your eyes
I know the hows and the whys
I've seen the lows and the highs
This strangeface staring at me
You would never believe me
Thought the truth was for other ones
Look for solace in your use
And find another one
Clouds weeping tears of rain
Someday you'll feel the sun
Can't wash away the pain for you
The forgotten one
Hanging over rocks below
Cold wind blowin'
Covering tracks left in the snow
No one knowing
Now, I see the loss in your eyes
I know the hows and the whys
I've seen the lows and the highs
This strangeface staring at me
Nobody could see through
What you had turned into
You're reclusive, elusive, abusive
The truth is you're lying, crying, denying, and dying
Now, I see the loss in your eyes
I know the hows and the whys
I've seen the lows and the highs
This strangeface staring at me
A stranger lives in your eyes
The web you've spun out of lies
The time has passed for goodbyes
The craving to ignite, reflects a glowing light
The fire in his eyes is ibearing no disguise
Armed with an evil grin, that sparks the flame within
The pyromaniac will burn this town, ignoring all costs
[Chorus:]
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Thousands will die
And there's no telling why
In his psychotic mind, his twisted thoughts unmind
No motive to this deed, he's of an evil breed
A killer to his grave, now who could ever save
The striker meets the match, the flames begin to catch
And he's gone
[Repeat chorus]
The culprit of the crime will not escape this time
Cause what he left behind, would be the proof they'd find
A tank of gasoline was proof... the guillotine
Looking out through stained glass eyes
Strange faces feeding me lies
Making the masses believe
Better to give than receive
Maybe I don't want to be
Part of the hypocrisy
But I find it hard to see
Past the fact you're killing me
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint me!
Prey! Exploit thee!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint thee!
Prey! Destroy me!
Now I've got nowhere to run
Can't take back things that I've done
Always obeyed what they say
Always forbade me to stray
And what if I did believe?
Would I just be the next deceived?
In your depraved carnality
Fall empty words from up your sleeve
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint me!
Prey! Exploit thee!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint thee!
Prey! Destroy me!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint me!
Prey! Exploit thee!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint thee!
Prey! Destroy me!
Molded you into their ways
The meek shall inherit their graves
Maybe I don't want to be
A part of the hypocrisy
A thousand years of tyranny
Can never make your blind man see!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint me!
Prey! Exploit thee!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint thee!
Prey! Destroy me!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint me!
Prey! Exploit thee!
Sit! Beside you!
Stand! Deride you!
Kneel! Anoint thee!
No longer know just what you like
Nor how to taste or feel
Life erased with just one strike
It's taken all that is real
All of your yesterdays
How were they stripped away?
Your body's still intact my dear
Your mind is laid to waste
No familiar sounds to hear
A stranger's found in every face
All of your yesterdays
How were they stripped away?
Wishing for a helping hand
Faces cold unfeeling stone
Never knowing where you stand
With no history alone
Ship has set sail, sea will prevail
Swallow the slaughter, drink the saltwater
Pawn of the power, sea will devour
Infinite day, awaiting the hour
(Chorus:)
Walk the plank
Walk the plank
Tied, ball and chain, infliction of pain
Vultures arise, death in their eyes
Under the gun, food supply: none
Knife in the back, nowhere to run
(Repeat chorus)
(Post-chorus:)
All hope is lost, been double-crossed
Legion of death, steal your last breath
The treachery of mutiny, lightning and thunder
Make the mind wonder
Water's infected, captain's arrested
Sharks in the water, body's ingested
(Repeat chorus)
(Lyrics: Tony Portaro, Music: Tony Portaro/Tony Bono)
Without one breath of life from the coffin'
The body begins to arise
It's rotted skin smelling of death
A hand of bones creeps from inside
Emerging with two glowing eyes
These eyes are forever hypnotizing
Burning your very soul
Passionate, painless, paralyzing
They're gonna turn your blood cold
These eyes will forever hypnotize you
They'll turn around and they'll blind you
One man with our lives in his hands
So much power
And so much pressure - is waiting on his command
Brainstorm
From out of the norm, a winning battle plan
And it's out of our hands
So the regiments form
(Chorus:)
The angel of war
Unleashing terror
Who'll throw the first crushing blow
Who will decide who has the last laugh
Who will throw the last blow
One of a kind
Who's out of his mind
He who thinks he holds all the answers
Can destroy all mankind
(Repeat chorus)
Wareny
Heard cut through the sky
Flip of a coin turns heads you will live
Lands on tails you will die
Napalm
A nuclear bomb
A flamethrower and a hand grenade
And I'm back in Viet Nam
Don't matter if you see it comin'
Don't matter if it's fair or not
You'll see as your blood is running
You deserve just what you got
You're at the top of the hitlist
You always wanted to be number one
There ain't a thing you do I don't know
That's part of what I do
I can make your wife a widow
Half now, half when I'm through
Somebody paid me nicely
To quiet you for good
If you had thought more wisely
You'd know somebody would
Don't need money to appease me
I won't be that forgiving
You see it's really all quite easy
Your dying is my living
You're at the top of the hitlist
You always wanted to be first in line
You're at the top of the hitlist
I've tried so many times
To forget the things I've done
But you don't seem to let me
I guess it's all just in fun
Maybe I should ask you nice
Like civil people do
I'd get away with murder
If I'd only think it through
Try and stop just long enough
And look into my eyes
Push me and I'll push right back
Word to the wise
One time let me do things
One time my own way
I've sweat blood just to please you
How much can I pay?
I feel I'm being smothered
Your hands outstretched to my face
Clasped in prayer around my throat
I'll die in your embrace
Try to stop just long enough
And look into my eyes
Push me and I'll push right back
Can't you realize
Holding back is all that's tough
Word to the wise
Push me and I'll push right back
Cut you down to size
One time let me do things
One time my own way
I've sweat blood just to please you
How much can I pay?
I feel I'm being smothered
Your hands outstretched to my face
Clasped in prayer around my throat
I'll die in your embrace
Try and stop just long enough
And look into my eyes
Push me and I'll push right back
Looking back it seems so long now
And it's still all wrong now
'Least it is to me
Never thought of being you now
But it's all so true now
Guess it has to be
Sure it's alright
Until I turn around
Picking me up
Just to knock me down
Well I could've done some things man
Just pulled some strings man
Just to make you glad
Am I just a letdown to you?
Does it cut right through you?
What you could've had
Sure it's alright
Until I turn around
Picking me up
Just to knock me down
I wish you could see
Just how you look now
I know you can't see
Just what you took now
All the plans made for tomorrow
Only end in sorrow, never came to be
And my heart's forever bleeding
'Cause what I'm needing
Never came to me
Sure it's alright
Until I turn around
Picking me up
Release, I grant you permission
Immerse, submerse, submerge and rise
Emerge to snatch one's last breath
Hydra-lung will deaden the cries
It is time to make the transition
You were never one to abide
Absurdly ignored premonition
Now let the struggle subside
This - the knife that has skewered my heart
This - the flowing river of blood
This - the morbid thought in my head
This - the crimson stain in my bed
My heart bleeds for your confession
The truth, the youth, a kiss goodbye
To covet the lasting impression
The river's slaughter swallows your pride
The current consumes the almighty
I must confess the tide will soon rise
Drowning your thoughts of escape
How foolish of you to surmise
This - the knife that has skewered my heart
This - the flowing river of blood
This - the morbid thought in my head
This - the crimson stain in my bed
This thing that crawls from inside me
expanding, stretching my sanity
This - way things have to turn out to be
There's no sun, left in your eyes to see...
This
Emotion spill into the river
Flowing, drifting from side to side
Clutch the offering hand of the Reaper
As you become the pale River Bride
This - the knife that has skewered my heart
This - the flowing river of blood
This - the morbid thought in my head
This - the crimson stain in my bed
This - way things have to turn out to be
There's no sun, left in your eyes to see...
This
This
A pounding migraine
Frantic search to find a cure
Desperation
How much more can you endure?
How would you know?
The cure would be so risky
A double dose of death
Washed down with a glass of whisky
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
Psychotic killer
Not afraid of homicide
Feed the victim
A double dose of cyanide
Without warning
An unsuspecting swallow
Your life will flash before your eyes
There will be no tomorrow
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
A pounding migraine
Frantic search to find a cure
Desperation
How much more can you endure?
How would you know?
The cure would be so risky
A double dose of death
Washed down with a glass of whisky
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
There's no escaping
The resurrection chair
Resurrection chair
A bomb explodes in your head, it's one of those days
You should have stayed in bed, something's gone wrong
Nothing's gone right, eternal eyes will take you alive
It's a fact of life, it's a fact of death - eternal eyes
Are you dead or alive, can't get them out of your face
Can't get them out of your mind, you'll never escape
Stitch in time
For a dime
Passion crime
A penny saved is a penny earned
Get rich quick
Turn your trick
Make it quick
Another bailbonds court adjourned
The rat race
Sets the pace
Leaves a trace
To teach you what you've never learned
[Chorus]
The wear and tear
Has taken its toll
Twelve hundred scars
Another years old
The waer and tear
Has taken its toll
Each battlescar
The blood runs cold
White or black
The meat rack
On your back
But not until the price is paid
Mind at ease
Aim to please
On your knees
Cause that's the way the money's made
Time slips by
To tuff to cry
You wonder why
Your morals have now decayed
Pay the dues
Black and blues
It's what you choose
To live life the way you want
Familiar face
That's the case
But no disgrace
Your memory they will always haunt
Time will tell
End this hell
What you sell
You will someday no longer flaunt
You're the icon of shame, entirely to blame
Contaminating everything you touch
Socially rejected, consequently neglected
Undivided nations scorn the likes of such
Disgracing
Nauseating
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Pathetic
So eccentric
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Such an incriminating stare, toward your tangled, twisted hair
You're on display for every man to criticize
When one's life is a total waste,
A disgusting disgrace
What a sickening excuse for a human life
Immoral
Indecent
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Offensive
Repulsive
You're no one's idol No one's idol
You welcome filth with open arms, your mistakes do such harm
The stench of you makes stomachs toss and turn
Exit your presence let me breathe, don't want none of your disease,
Look at your ragged filthy life when will you learn?
Disgracing
Nauseating
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Pathetic
So eccentric
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Immoral
Indecent
You're no one's idol No one's idol
Offensive
Repulsive
Thousands of people come into your life
Pulsating sounds are shaking
See you the next time I pose a question
Are you out of your mind?
Hook in mouth
Hook in mouth
Hook in mouth
Hook in mouth
Plant the seed in your mind
And you know it's so insane
Because the hook is sacred
Yes, the hook is sacred
Think I need some new bait?
With the sun sinking slowly
And the vultures flying low
Out on the streets again
With nowhere to go
You've taken you last chance
And there's nothing left to lose
Pull the gun your on the run
And caught by the man in blue
[Chorus]
Does the punishment fit the crime
It's a rape of the mind
Take a look at the rich man
At the people that he owns
Watch the smile on his face
Eviction from their homes
Caught for tax evasion
On the new he's taken away
Out a day later
ain't got nothing he wants to say
[Chorus]
His money pays for his time
It's a rape of the mind
Now the padded cell is waiting
And the doctors come to call
Shock treatments aren't helping
Still your shocked some more
Take your mind from you
And your freedom in return
With the hopes one day
A lesson has been learned
[Chorus]
Does the punishment fit the crime
It's a rape of the mind
Coward, screaming, hiding, bleeding
Put your fear to the rear and face the pain
Driven to violence, power devours
Evil comes around, brings you down
Til you're insane
No fear
No one strips me of my pride
You've been warned
Now get out of my way
Corruption, hunger, possessed by desire
There's always one man out to rule the world.
Killing, slaughter, destruction, order
Wish this fucking nightmare would go away
No fear
No one strips me of my pride
I'd rather die with dignity
No fear
I will fight until I fall
But I won't fall til humanity is saved
History, repeated, always defeated
Freedom rules, you can't take that from me
Power to the people, eliminate the evil
If we all stand tall our strength won't waste away
No fear
No one strips me of my pride
I'd rather die with dignity
No fear
I will fight until I fall
Pistolwhipped
Four cold dark walls closing
Gasp for air
Prison cell bars
Laughing as they stare
Scream in vain
What a desperate cry
Silent echoes
The room comes to life
[Pre-Chorus]
Contemplate plan to escape
Vision of breaking out
Chance to flee
Free from the arms of the law
[Chorus]
Pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped
Footsteps keys ring
Music to the ear
No more waiting
Chance in hell is here
Beams of light shine
Knock'em on the floor
Must break free now
Open cell block door
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Fence is near
Scream as the sirens sound
Chase begins, blood pumping
The heart pounds
Cross a field
Taste freedom
Legs in pain
Crushing blow
Butt of a gun meets your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it, it's for free
Soon it starts to please
Take as much as you want
Take as much as you need
It kills all pain
No need to feel ashamed
Now it starts ti hit home
Straight to the bone
[Chorus]
Dementia Thirteen
Now you're feeling stoned
Pains are small and few
Ths feeling's all that you own
Never let them try to take it from you
Ahh, it's fucking me up
I think Ive had a little too much speed
And I can hardly see
What the chords I'm hitting
What the otes to play
Yo, are we all in tune
What did that dude just say
[Special Guest Guitar Solo By Frank Blackfire]
Snarling attack
Money is made
Hail Mary pass
Best friend betrayed
Against all odds
Losing the bet
Meet your demise
The stage is set
Only a matter of course
It's time to show some remorse
For what you've done
Hopelessly riding the high
You aim to get higher
Into the fire with you
Trained to attack
A killing spree
Making your mark
In history
Against the law
Busted the ring taken away
Canaries sing
[Chorus]
Play action pass
Disorder, dismay
Contract is void
Miracle play
Front page report
Made the headlines
Sunday night game
Ignorant crime
Street corner trick
On sunset strip
Long legs red hair
With cross to bear
Fled to the west
In Sunday s best
New life to lead
Strive to succeed
Spit me out
Spit me out
Suck me back up again
The silver screen
Her lifelong dream
Vision denied
Audition time
Another line
Use to abuse
She can't refuse
[Repeat Chorus:]
Underground film
Will pay the bills
Chasing the fix
Treats come with tricks
Turn for the worst
Drug money cursed
Against her will
Performance kills
Smoke so thick you start to choke
Among the ruin the dogs of war
You feel the end drawing near
Air raid sirens wailing in your ears
[Pre-Chorus]
But you hear them
When it strikes, it's too late
Now you see them
Burning bodies squirming, screaming
Staring in your face
[Chorus]
Witness to the terror
Life appearing from the shelter
The lone vulture last survivor
Life is tasting bitter
Search the earth
Look around
Hopeless case
There is none to be found
Save your breathe
Final plight
Suicide
You never get it off your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Kneeling down
Final sight
Twitching hand
It cuts the ego like a knife
Pray for death
Pray for light
Live in hell
Pray to the one that's
wrong or right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't see them taking me alive
Blinded by the blood that stains my eyes
I won't give in no!
I'll fight to the finish
I don't want to die
No, I don't want to lose my pride
I've got all it takes to survive
I've seen my death 1.000 times
Greed from hell falls down so hard on the innocent
I pray they see the light of Heaven shine
There is no pity
I'll fight to the finish
I don't want to die
No, I don't want to lose my pride
I've got all it takes to survive
I've seen my death 1.000 times
Screams for life they seem so far away
Life makes death one hell of a price to pay
I want revenge
I'll fight to the finish
I don't want to die
No, I don't want to lose my mind
I've got all it takes to survive
Scent of the carcass is near
Unrivaled talent to kill
The competition is fierce
Against all will
Guarding the food at its source
No chance of sharing the prize
Inches away from its cause
Feed to survive
The feeding
The bleeding
Jaws clenching down
Empower
Devour
Feeding frenzy
Kill and eat what is too slow
Feel the hot breath down your neck
Tapetum lucidum glows
Kill and protect
Tracking the one that's astray
Breaking the stride of the prey
Smelling the fear in the air
Teeth and claws tear
Inches away from its claws
Inches away from its cause
Chaos and terror arise
Fear in the eyes
Ripping the flesh from its core
Hovering over the kill
Splitting and cracking the bone
Lurking in the astral skies lust, power, greed, hate
Leader of the fighting force face of black fate
2100 A.D. at this man's will
Powerthrashing death brigade regroups to kill
Can't just ignore what's right bow to the powerlord
Warmonger
Bombs are falling from above death metal storm
Dogfight of the modern day starwars take form
Starships shooting in and out amazing grace
To each man a battlestar chasing through space
Obeying every order heard brainwashed by their leader's word
Kamikaze warriors aim for the sun
Taking off for outer space four, three, two, one
Retrorockets activate lifting the craft
Final sound the fighters hear warmonger laugh
All the troops have died at war bow to the powerlord
I never feel the same, I can't sleep at night
Since that godforsaken madman took your life
I'm going insane, a pain I cannot fight,
I cry most every night
I cry myself to death, don't want to live without you
Come take my hand and hold me tight
God shines his light on me tonight
I need you now, help me through the night
I don't want to live without you anymore
Life's too short, a speck in time
A flash of light in one's mind
In my dreams, all I find
Are memories of another time
Why did you leave me alone?
Hush my baby don't your cry, mommy's gone away
I need you now, I need you now
Everything you were to me, I need you now
Forever in my heart I cry
Come take my hand and hold me tight
God shines his light on me tonight
I need you now, help me through the night
I don't want to live, I need you now
Build me a wall 100 feet high and leave me to wither
Call me insane, lock me behind my bloodshot mind
What's there to live for when all that you had was crushed and devoured
Just go away, leave me alone, can't you see that I want to die?
Why did you leave me alone?
I just can't live without you
Why did you leave me alone?
I've suffered so much pain
Life's so unfair as I crumble to the ground
Takes back what it's given
Where am I now? Who do I have? How do I cry?
I love you now more than ever before,
I yearn just to touch you
I'll never forget the look in your eyes
Why the hell did you have to die?
Why did you leave me alone?
I just can't live without you
Why did you leave me alone?
Sit down like you do*
And I'll cross my legs too
My friend
What's in that pipe
Strikes my appetite
Sweet blend
Firewater
Firewater
Two shots for you
Can you still see
It's your turn again
Let me help you hold the pen
And sign this deed
Firewater
Firewater
Firewater
Firewater
[Montrose cover]
[From The Album "Paper Money" (1974)]
[Vocals By Joe Cangelosi]
If you're lookin' for something, that you can keep
Well baby, pass me by
And you want something, that's twenty years deep
Baby, don't even try
But you want someone, to take your soul
Maybe lift you a little bit higher...
I've got the fire
Just cause I'm skinny, don't you sell me cheap
I'm as long as a country mile
Well some like it wide and some like it deep
And guess which one's my style!
You think you can beat me at my own game
Well baby, I say you're a liar
My nails have scraped the paint from the walls
Peeled every inch off of the surface
Scratched clean through the messages in blood
I'm still left here trapped in this black circus
The key is in your mind
The soul shall never leave
Down on my hands and knees, crawling with doubt
Sanity prevails, those days are over
Giving in, convinced there's no way out
Say goodbye, like a lamb left for slaughter
The key is in your mind
The soul shall never leave
The soul shall always be locked
The soul shall never breathe
Forever in this house .
Forever in this house .
With no doors
Innocently led into the dark
By a pale hand that appeared before my eyes
For every one reason to live
I have found two reasons to die
The key is in your mind
The soul shall never leave
The soul shall always be locked
The soul shall never breathe
Forever in this house .
Judgement day's here, smell of death's near
Captor's ignoring the cries
Tragedy's stand, trouble at hand
Death jury plots the demise
Hungry to kill
Torture at will
Anxiously waiting the word
Sentence to cast
Won't be the last
Laugh when the verdict is heard
Last straw
Through with the final injunction
Case closed
No one will ever get free
[Chorus:]
Snake pit
Snake pit
Snake pit
Guilty of sin, no one will win
Death jurers plot till the death
Justice at large, make up a change
Waiting to stear your last breath
Gaffle will fall, order from all
Silence overcomes the court
Don't say a word
Sentence is heard
Might make the vision distort
[Repeat chorus]
[Lead]
[Chorus]
[1st verse]
Flashback... Pearl Harbor attack
Incoming bombers, no way to fight back
Chaos... blood in the sand
The enemy is coming, the threat is Japan
[Chorus]
It must fall to flame... Hiroshima
fall to flame... Hiroshima
Fighters strike from the air
Machine gun fire, no time to prepare
Wounded ships have been sunk
People will say kamikaze's the one
[Chorus]
One plane carries the bomb
Orders are given, the city is gone
Spreading flesh, it will burn
Revenge has been taken and
now the have learned
Treacherous waters
Smashing and thrashing around you
Blistering lips
Salt water you'll kiss
Take a sip
And the trip will begin
You will fight for your life
'til you float face down
Gasping for air
Spit out your last prayer
Then you float face down
Ravaging current
Swirling, engulfing the White Sea
Struggling to live
Never forgive
Captain's order
The slaughter received
Unspoken terror
Heart beating faster
Inside you
Sun going down
The vultures will sound
Trust in this man, break bread with this man
Welcome me into your home with your wife and your children
Give me the shirt off your back as I plan my attack
Take for all that it's worth, I'm the villain
Devoted disciple of integrity
I am your task rehabilitate me
The calling has come, you're compelled to comply
You have the power to heal my mind
Hold me to all that you own
Leave me there all alone
I will swear by my name to be loyal
I'll put the ease in your mind,
You'll return just to find
That your life has been taken from you
Devoted disciple of integrity
I am your task rehabilitate me
The calling has come, you're compelled to comply
You have the power to heal
Faith, hope and love seen better days
Loyalty and honour I've abandoned from my ways
Lies all lies, I admit I'm wrong
Feed me all your trust, but I will ignore
I need a saint to insure, He will help me to cure
The incurable cure I'm a liar
I live my life as a thief, full of my own beliefs
Show me land where there is truth, I will follow
Devoted disciple of integrity
I am your task rehabilitate me
The calling has come, you're compelled to comply
You have the power to heal all lies
The lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
There's a scream at midnight
Or a child who's time has come
With a beauty so fresh and new
Just twenty years she'd just begun
Now the hour is coming strong
Only to crush the innocent ones
Crimes of passion and pleasure
The reasons for what is done
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear it echo thru the stages
Voice of Sanity
[Chorus]
As its flowing thru your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain
Looking from the hindsight
Of a world no longer strong
Thinking you are protected
You don't realize your sadly wrong
You can walk the straight line
But that straight line will be gone
The voice is always watching
and soon you will sing its sweet song
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
As you see the new dawn
And praise the safety of lighted day
Just like the young child
We must all have a price to pay
And if we're all mad
Sanity is for who to say
When the voice calls us
We must all heed and come out to play
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I only see what I want to see,
And only believe what I want to believe,
Death is in the air, yes, it's coming for me,
Stealing my soul to wither below.
As you have lived,
One day you will die, straight to the kill.
Death strikes again, I'm afraid it's time,
Such is the will.
Blacker than night, I will not know a thing.
No thoughts, no desires, what else it will bring.
A shadow in chains, in its own misery,
Coming for me, coming for me.
As you have lived,
One day you will die, straight to the kill.
Death strikes again, I'm afraid it's time,
Such is the will.
All such thoughts come into my head,
Will my soul carry on when my body is dead
Burn what is left, leave what's left unsaid
Such is the will
As you have lived,
One day you will die, straight to the kill.
Death strikes again, I'm afraid it's time,
My life worth next to nothing
Tell me who am I to blame?
I've grown to my addiction
You would think I've gone insane
They talk to me at times, they never go away
Voices from the past
When I was young I felt the pain
What was once me has died
Cold and empty inside
Hungry you are my prey
Watch your life slip away
How much can I take?
I must have cried a million times
Can I escape retribution?
Clear these thoughts from my mind
How can I look you in the eyes, as your life fades away?
Welcome to your death
I love to hear you scream
What was once me has died
Cold and empty inside
Hungry you are my prey
Watch your life slip away
I don't know why I see my life through your eyes
As my pain starts to die, so will you
Hear the voices in my head
Whisper what they expect from me
Sacrifices to my religion
Killing everything I see
Come to me my love, I will show you the way
I will haunt you til forever
And forever comes today
What was once me has died
Cold and empty inside
Hungry you are my prey
A fallen soldier takes a hit
And is left behind
Comrades boots across his back
Who masterminds the sneak attack
[Pre-Chorus]
And of course the innocent
Is the One who pays the price
[Chorus]
Insult to Injury
Insult to Injury
A knife will twist into the back
the body hits the ground
And the culprits smiling face
is looking upon the waste
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
The missing lone ingredient
Salt into the wound
Is an insult to the pride
You better put yourself respect aside
[Pre-Chorus]
The President gave the word the other day,
He ruled the world
Time to meet your nightmare face to face
Start the fires
Cities are burning,
I'm scared out of my jeans.
I'm about to see hell man,
God must have set me free
What does it mean to make a man realise,
He who makes war Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
Just to settle the score
Why does it take forever
Open your eyes Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
And I want to know why it's me who's fighting
Drive a man to the point of insanity,
You make him kill.
No remorse cause mercy's dangerous,
You're a death machine
Men wounded, lie screaming
I'm dying, help me
I'll never see my mother's face again.
What does it mean to make a man realise,
He who makes war Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
Just to settle the score
What does it mean to make a man realise,
He who makes war Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
Just to settle the score
Why does it take forever
Open your eyes Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
And I want to know why it's me who's fighting
Every minute more, one minute less
They've come for you
Will this be the day life ends for me
You'll never know what hit you
Helpless and broken,
I don't want to die
I'm too young to fade to grey.
What does it mean to make a man realise,
He who makes war Enemy
How many die in the blink of an eye,
Just to settle the score
Why does it take forever
Open your eyes Enemy
Give me just one reason
Not to kill you where you stand
High caliber deliverance
God squeezed within my hand
Don't care if you suffer
Or how much you bleed
I'll cleanse you of your sins
Cause it may be all you need
The flesh rips, peels and tears
From a gentle kiss of lead
The firey, hateful world in which
You are soon to be
A lifeless, soulless shell to gaze upon eternally
Watching you climb from below
Crying like rain as you fell
Reeping the pain that you sow
Climbing in vain out of hell
A single flash, a deadly crash
Of lead against your brain
The ending will come quickly
So there shouldn't be no pain
They'll notify your friends
To satisfy their need for grief
If you were stolen from them
Just call me the thief
You'll get your little service
They'll come and cry for you
They might as well cry for themselves
I'm sure I'll get them too
Don't take it all so personally
It's just somethin' I do
My victim's always faceless
Just this time it's you
Watching you climb from below
Crying like rain as you fell
Reeping the pain that you sow
Climbing in vain out of hell
I'm watching
And I'm waiting
Until you're alone
The dark one
Has sent one
To bring you back home
Watching you climb from below
Crying like rain as you fell
Reeping the pain that you sow
Like a viper
Your blood will flow upon his strike
Like all the others
Young and old alike
Time is running out
Theres no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Like a buzz saw
Hes gonna cut you up on sight
You turn around and
Theres no chance left, loo late to fight
Time is running out
Theres no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
A bloody rampage
Merciless onslaught in the night
Another victim
The executioners delight
Time is running out
Theres no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Hes coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
[Chorus x2: All]
Catchin' Whiplash!
Nowadays everybody wanna get cash
Whiplash!
Tryin' to make a hit smash
Whiplash!
Fuckin' wit' the MBs?
Think fast, you'll catch a bad case of whiplash
[Styles]
Yo, let's get right into this
Styles on the mic, omnipotent
Average rapper's times limited, to rhymes imminent
MB's skills unfadable, y'all's debatable
Y'all get on the mic and little kid's go "can we play that too?"
I slide your girl just 'cause you're bothering me
While you're bangin' on the door she talking
"How 'bout some privacy?"
I'm quite humorous, women bag numerous
Arrogant rapper with a bad case of hubris
Don't lose my gist, vocab illuminous
Girl you takin' out while doing it, well, if you insist
Relax I'm just mackin' it for practice
Yo she playin' hard to get but she ain't that good an actress
That's it, y'all can say what you like
But the fact MBs whip y'all in shape on the mic
That's right
[Chorus x2]
[Chops]
Cats don't want to see no part of Chops
I get more trim than barbershops
Tag your ass like I was a graf-head
Plus I be running through marching lot
I'm hard to stop, 'cause while you stir the pot
I'm gettin' it on wit' your john in the parking lot
Damagin' cones, up on your gramophones
Introducin' the ??, servin' heads like Indiana Jones
Chops, MBs, we on the rostigory (?), and plus, I bust
Get up in that ass like a suppository
Superfly like ??, we rappin' for the east detention
All up in there, spreading, just like a yeast infection
Had it rough, now we in the house and laugh it up
I'm like a sumo gettin' the drawers, because I'm fat as fuck
Tried to get the best of the complex, but it's no contest
We comin' off just like a bomblet
Why you couldn't stand me? The shit that I'm creatin'
leave you shakin' like a kid whose family left you with a british nanny
[Chorus x2]
[Peril-L]
Peril-L I'm pleased to meet you tonight
MB's the feature inside
Release the creature within, proceed to eat you girls
In bleachers, sellin' t-shirts, bras, and g-strings
Some drawers and keyrings, toss from me to king
>From the lost world, produced, rare flows, born and raised
I used to wear clothes that was torn and frayed
Let's be warned I'm crazed, with the sword that slays
My, blows to the ears, 'cause over the years
I've been scorned and praised
Hated and loved, now rated above
The best, gold-plated glove, caress the mic
Great enough to bless, since the erogenous
The misogynous, I won't have step on virgin MCs, androgynous
They don't have sex, dodge my fist, came to reclaim my properties
And put a stop to these, pseudo hip hop monotonies
Like living fast, big cash, switches and monopolies
I'm giving cats whiplash, like bitches that's on top of me
[Chorus x2]
Catchin' Whiplash!
Nowadays everybody wanna get cash
Tryin' to make a hit smash
Oh baby moonlight
Hits the spotlight
I'm on my flight
To take you away.
I'm feelin' so free
You're makin' me crazy
That's what you do
That's what you do
Let's go now!
Lickety split
A girl and a bear
She crawls in a pit
Say hello darling
Twisted insanity
Fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Well come on boy!
Well come on!
And take me to the other side
I'm gon' away
When I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin' fast
I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
Like a first kiss
With a sweet list
Of some love songs
Oh yeah!
And with this melody
Falling over me
It makes me weak
So dang weak
So let's go now
Lickety split
A girl and a bear
She crawls in a pit
Say hello darling
Twisted insanity
Fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Well come on boy!
Well come on!
And take me to the other side
I'm gon' away
When I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin' fast
I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la
Oh yeah!
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
So lets go now!
Well come on!
And take me to the other side
I'm gon' away
When I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash,
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin' fast
I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash
