Good Old American Violence
Plot
Picture, if you will, a young man waking up on a ship with no recollection of how he got there, or even to where he's traveling. This man is no stranger to the hangover. The black out. The bad trip. But this man is about to experience something he IS a stranger to, he will endure a crippling sense of déjà vu that will, like the worst typhoons or maelströms, show no sign of slackening. I urge you to enter this world and find out if it is indeed possible to Escape from Staten Island.

The most powerful sting in all the oceans other than the box jelly fish and that the ray comes out of my mouth in a brilliant blue laser that can strike from up to fifty feet.::Kurt: Yeah but that's a lie isn't it?::Stingray: Yeah. It'd be good though.

The stingrays are a group of rays, which are cartilaginous fishes related to sharks. They are classified in the suborder Myliobatoidei of the order Myliobatiformes, and consist of eight families: Hexatrygonidae (sixgill stingray), Plesiobatidae (deep water stingray), Urolophidae (stingarees), Urotrygonidae (round rays), Dasyatidae (whiptail stingrays), Potamotrygonidae (river stingrays), Gymnuridae (butterfly rays), and Myliobatidae (eagle rays).
Most stingrays have one or more barbed stings (modified from dermal denticles) on the tail, which is used exclusively in self-defense. The stinger may reach a length of approximately 35 cm (14 in), and its underside has two grooves with venom glands. The stinger is covered with a thin layer of skin, the integumentary sheath, in which the venom is concentrated. A few members of the suborder, such as the manta rays and the porcupine ray, do not have stingers.
Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world, and also includes species found in warmer temperate oceans, such as Dasyatis thetidis, and those found in the deep ocean, such as Plesiobatis daviesi. The river stingrays, and a number of whiptail stingrays (such as the Niger stingray), are restricted to fresh water. Most myliobatoids are demersal, but some, such as the pelagic stingray and the eagle rays, are pelagic.
Say what you will but I'm a stinker
I come crawling up out of my hole
Dirt in my toes, dirt up my nose
I'm a perfect curse to pest control
Seeds and weeds and muddy meals
Crawling around the earth
Down in the ground where the sun don't pound
I hibernate in English turf
Better believe it, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what you hound dogs think
Set in my styles with a beady eye
I got connections with the underground
Call me a common rodent boy
Sitting here safe and sound
Some mole hill mother sauntered by
Acting like the ace of spades
Don't give that cutey no reason to shoot me
'Are you feeling the fire
Are you ready to explode
Are your dreams and desires
Running down an open road'
'I'm like a runaway
A heart without a home
I'll fight for every inch I take
I'm desperate to the bone'
Stay hungry-- feel the fire
Stay hungry-- don't explode
Stay hungry-- with desire
Stay hungry-- you're alone
Be the hunter and the hunted
Keep your target in your sight
Don't be sidetracked or shunted
Let pretenders feel your bite
Never show you're weak
Don't feel you've got to hide
Remember what you're fighting for
Remember what you seek
If your fire is faded
And you can't feel it no more
If you're tired and overrated
Let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy
There's none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There's no room for wanna-be's, the has-been's or the bad
Bull dozer crush, cover the rush, catatonic nonsense
Hammering down, balance you found, forever we're fucking
I love this machine, elevate rising higher
It never stops, still growing hot, shadow of myself say
Rhythm, my way, stingwray
Forcing, moving
Motion, sideways
Take me home
Pull over push, forcing the rush, keep on moving faster
Wearing me down, breaking the sound, finely tune the caster
Burning gasoline, spark will set it on fire
Reaching the top, still growing hot, shadow of myself say
Rhythm, breaking
My way, crushing
Stingwray, rising
Forcing
Moving, breaking
Motion, crushing
Sideways, rising
Take me
Rhythm, breaking
My way, crushing
Stingwray, rising
Forcing
Moving, breaking
Motion, crushing
Sideways, rising
Take me
It never stops, still growing hot, moving
It never stops, bring me back to life, stingwray
It never stops, like it a lot, moving
It never stops, still growing, rising higher
One, two, three, four
Rhythm, breaking
My way, crushing
Stingwray, rising
Forcing
Moving, breaking
Motion, crushing
Sideways, rising
Take me
Rhythm, breaking
My way, crushing
Stingwray, rising
Forcing
Moving, breaking
Motion, crushing
Sideways, rising
I think that we can signify our love now
Ooh girl, you can initiate an impulse of love
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry
Move a muscle, move a muscle, move a muscle
Make a motion, make a motion, make a motion
Pull it tighter, pull it tighter, pull it tighter
Double beatin', double beatin', double beatin'
Double beatin', double beatin', double beatin'
Palpitation, palpitation, palpitation
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry
Here's that rhythm again
Here's my shoulder blade
Here's the sound I made
Here's the picture I saved
Somehow I turn around and see
My nerves break down inside
Maybe you might know much more than me
So tell me what is right to say
Down the weakness of my soul
Lie the secrets, and I know
There's something pushing back
Wish my hands could turn to gold
And my heart would break the cold
To give my thoughts some sense
The turn is close, new century
Still people think they're kings
Now you've got your voice,
Your own speech
Don't wait 'till someone else agrees
Swimming naked of beliefs
And responsibilities
Just feel the sea of bliss
Mother nature brings to me
In fantastic purity
Everything I need
Like a teenager discovery
What's more delightful than this?
Try to remember how good it was
Feeling the life as it is
To believe!
New world was born out of man's dreams
Now we walk on our own
The angels cried, you've heard them weep
are you feeling the fire?
are you ready to explode?
are your dreams and desires
riding down an open road?
i'm like a runaway
a heart without a home
others can laugh and play
i'll fight for every inch i take
i'm desperate to the bone

stay hungry
don't explode
stay hungry

stay hungry you're alone
