lyrics

Verse:
Some say the cure is worse than the disease
And kindness is a man when he’s rested on his knees
And Ludwig is Van is a 9th Symphony
played with Devil Trombones and a pocket full of speed
Stomach full of milkshakes ‘ Gully full of greed
Heaven metal rocket ships tripping overseas
Angel-faced heretics boasting ‘bout their dreams
of ultra-violent succotash and fully feathered wings
Old folks sing the songs of their father
With honor in their mumblings and shit in their wallets
Sleeping in a different key ‘ They’re something-aholic
On a high wire stuck with aspirations of falling [falling]
The lights are heavy and the sirens are calling
The steps are getting closer it ain’t no way to stall ‘em
Your stains are ‘bout to get all blacklighted and outted
and you’ll be in it half naked with no way to get out it [get it?]
They’re trying to stick you with some kind of admission
Waiting for it all to break down
Admit it’s still just the sinister thrill that keeps you up and it’s killed forcing indifference til you get belligerent feel
Your hand is steady ‘ Your heart steady racing
Your skeleton is getting all impatient ‘ Face it
Option one?
Put an end to the fun and play those Devil Trombones with no earplugs

Chorus:
All the policemen are wearing really strange clothes
So when you see them ‘ You’ll know who the run from

Verse:
What do I viddy vid with both of my peepers slit open?
Maybe your focus ain’t as sharp as you think it is
Nothing up their sleeve ‘ Nothing to fool you with
Just two droogs pissing with a mission to do you in
Stomach full of fist [punch] Knuckle full of steam
Devil brass ringing in you ripping out your seams
Heaven metal whispering “It’s time for you to breathe”
Falling in the rain until it’s safe for you to sing
songs as homage to the demons in your past
reminiscent of the medicine you pulled from out the flask
And now without your mask ‘ you’re finally disguised
as an angel-faced choir boy with nothing left to hide so

Outro:
Run
Don’t stop ‘ Don’t stop
Just run
