The Terror 02:53
I've got an angle on angling that's obtuse Gonna get you baby and put you to use Crawling on my belly all on through the weeds Some folks think I'm squirrelly They don't know of my deeds Stagnant water around my brain I've got muck in my lungs But I stay busy until summer comes Crawling on my belly You know I cant keep still Your eyes glazed over are my biggest thrill I am the Terror, nerves in the dirt feel no pain I am the Terror, worms in the dirt shall remain

The Bronski 02:41
Subtle as a spiked club Speaking of your love, put in innuendo it fits just like a glove Honey leave the light on papa's comin' home Graceful as a dancing bear stumbling to your love Honey you and I can never part Come a little closer let me bad touch your heart Oh yeah! Do the Bronski! Soaring with the eagles, slithering with the snakes Warming up your engine don't slam on the brakes Double the entendre, double down your bets My love for you is retard strong I've got no kind of sense Honey you and I can never part Come a little closer let me bad touch your heart Oh Yeah! Do the Bronski!

Atomic Rock 02:27
Living these small town blues There's one thing that gets us through Uranium Rock n Roll! You can believe it's true They split the atom, we share the fame Amplifiers start to glow We set the town aflame Can't stop the atomic rock no It's the cause of all this talk yeah Some bands make you clap your hands Honey that aint for me Uranium Rock n Roll might give your kids webbed feet We found a secret buried underground On down to Alsip then back to Zion town Can't stop the atomic rock no It's the cause of all this talk, alright!

Lines on the road Lines on my palm They both drive me to where I'm bound "There'll come a day" said the gypsy " and it will be very soon" "You'll burn in flames" said the gypsy " Sure as the sun aint the moon" Lines on the road Lines up my nose My hands are shaking, I'm losing control "There'll come a day" said the gypsy " and it will be very soon" "you'll burn in flames" said the gypsy. "Sure as the sun aint the moon". It's just the night. Night of the gypsy

The face I see when I look in the mirror, lord I must say aint my own The blood on my hands can't be washed off at all until I reap what I've sown The black shape behind me, it sure aint my shadow It leads me on towards that tree Now I don't run, cuz I know that I'll never be free "E tu Invader?" the words echo still The lingering stench of an unburied kill "E tu Invader?" Now it is clear, that it is death that I no longer fear I still remember the dying man's words 22 years to the day With eyes ablaze he said he'd seek justice As his life's blood dripped away He walked so tall, and with no thought at all I cut him down like a tree Now I don't run cuz I know that I'll never be free "E tu Invader?" The words echo still. The lingering stench of an unburied kill "E tu Invader?" now it is clear, that it is death that I no longer fear

Sons of Onan 03:09
Amid suburban sprawl, a palace standing tall Behold his pyramid! In all it's glory This modern monument, aint sure of it's intent His gold plated residence...masturbatory Onan! You can't stop the sons of nothing Onan! It ain't hard to see what's cumming Some kind of true believer. He ripped his root, the root of all evil Took the money in his hairy palm, and stroked his ego Spilled seed can't germinate, money can't procreate He's done with the human race. Their fate's been sealed Onan! You can't stop the sons of nothing Onan! It aint hard to see what's cumming

Looking down your nose, you might not see That playing loud and living free It aint because of fond nostalgia There aint no delusion of our grandeur Enlightenment's come and it aint been no fun If you've got it right then I want it wrong Conform to rebel, it's a sign that should tell If you've got it right then I want it wrong This is the truth it aint no fable We'll do to you what Kane did Abel Sonically said we've made our bed We won't lie down until we're dead Enlightenment's come and it aint been no fun If you've got it right then I want it wrong

The devil he left his throne and he went on the lamb He had grown tired of the pain and the suffering of man That was the day he showed us what to play The earth it shook and the sky turned red "See you in hell" that's what he said The devil's hand it had touched our heads "See you in hell" that's what he said Stranded in Alsip, he found us when morale was low He offered success in exchange for our mere mortal souls That was the day he showed us what to play The earth it shook and the sky turned red "See you in hell" that's what he said The devil's hand it had touched our heads "See you in hell" that's what he said

The Lariat 03:04
Smell of leather, blood and sweat Woman's toy and man's regret Knock your block off Don't it hurt? Knock your dick right in the dirt I aint no gelding, I'm meant to stud Ride to glory on a sea blood The lariat strikes, whatcha gonna do The lariat strikes, it's coming down on you Piledriver, count of two Now there's one thing left to do Hit the ring ropes, hit the dirt Lord almighty that's got to hurt I ain't no gelding, I'm meant to stud Ride to glory on a sea of blood The lariat strikes, whatcha gonna do The lariat strikes, It's coming down on you

Thunderhead 05:23
Fighting in the whiskey halls gets to your brain You know you've got the right to choose If alcohol and cannon fire is the name of your game You've only got your head to lose Descending on the legion hall, a black leather swarm No one could believe what they saw Thunder Head! upon the ground his blood's been shed Thunder Head! upon the ground, a good man dead His hand still lights the fuse
11.
The Curse 06:04
The stars that shown on Dallas have all but left the sky The Sportatorium in moratorium for all of those who died The stars that shown on Dallas have sputtered out and died The devil got what Fritz could not, when he signed that dotted line Because when you signed that deal, there's one thing you should know You didn't read the fine print cuz you didn't sell your soul The devil's contract is a pact that's sealed in hell How dare you pawn off, what isn't yours to sell Cuz when you ride the tiger, you're going to feel the claw What goes up, it must come down when you watch your family fall When you're down in Texas, take the road less traveled yeah When you take the back roads it's just a shortcut to your death

Out of the twilight, a shining mystery The night is prime for moving around He can't remember a time he's been so free Now he's hell bent and glory bound The freeway is his own It's written on his stone Tonight his one last chance for glory And even though he's gone his spirit carries on Return of the Fog, he rides on and on That lonely stretch of road that saw his tragedy That is where you're sure to find him He's back and on the run a mortal victory The chains of life no longer bind him The freeway is his own. It's written on his stone Tonight his one last chance for glory And even though he's gone his spirit carries on Return of the Fog, He rides on and on

Not lean by any means, but that's how I make the scene But what I hunger for is rotten to the core Got nothing? You've got nothing to lose Idle hands play the songs that make us sing Tune your guitar string And now it's time cuz I'm down, down and dirty You aint got shit on me Cuz I'm down, down and dirty When the light shines on me I hear people talk about how it's supposed to be The serpent's tongue is in your ear Who do you believe? Not lean by any means, but that's how I make the scene Cast out from his right hand Ordained to rock the land Got nothing? You've got nothing to lose Idle hands play the songs that make us sing Tune your guitar string And now it's time cuz I'm down, down and dirty You aint got shit on me. Cuz I'm down, down and dirty When the light shines on me I hear people talk about how it's supposed to be The serpent's tongue is in your ear. Who do you believe?

A wise man was called upon to answer to the king Not knowing of the sorrow that his mind could bring So the king requested the usage of his skill To create that iron bull, with intent to kill This abomination stood for all to view, as they stoked the fire anticipation grew The purpose of this structure, to bring all kinds of wrong Take their screams of anguish and turn them to a song A thing of justice some said but don't be fooled For the man that knew he would pay for the Brazen Bull Smoke started to billow from the creature's nose Pressure started building and then a faint sound it arose And for it's creator on that fateful day, it was his song the people heard from a mile away A thing of justice some said but don't be fooled For the man that knew he would pay for the Brazen Bull
