1984 Here are the lyrics to the debut W.A.S.P.
album "Winged Assassins"

I WANNA BE SOMEBODY

You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out
I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody Be somebody too
You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out
I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody Be somebody too
I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lots of rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never gettin' old
I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody Be somebody too
I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody

L.O.V.E. MACHINE

Lady have you known me
The perfect love machine
I'm Virgo, My Leo's rising Venus made me King
That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you'll see
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine tonight, tonight
What can I do for you
Am I your wildest dream
What do I move in you
Am I what I seem
My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You'll not feel the same
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine tonight, tonight

THE FLAME

Give me a ticket on a jet airplane
I'm a-gonna take it
I live my life in the fast lane, the only way to make it
And I keep on going all night long
Cos that's the way I like it
And with what you got in the heat of the night I know we got to try it
Until the flame burns out
Until the flame burns out
So turn it up, your radio
Everybody shake it
I'm a hundred degrees, with wild fantasies
And I need someone to make it
Show me a place where love is sweet
I ain't gonna fake it
And hey little girl if you want my love
Then now's the time to take it
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out
Turn up the flame your hips are fire
You're so hot I got to try ya
Show me the spot and I'll hit the mark
Baby I got the gasoline and you got the sparks
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out
Until the flame burns out
Until the flame burns out

B.A.D.

You hear the cries of love, a sad tune
And feel the salt-lick stingin' loves wound
Those tears that you cry leave a blood stain
They fall to the ground like a sweet rain
Cos bad girls they do
B.A.D.-Bad, make your mom and daddy sad
B.A.D.-Bad, It's the bloody fix you do Oh, Look out
You see what's in your head, fantasy
And need, but you can't have B.A.D.
Call a spade a spade only if you want to
Cos by any other name it's taboo
Cos bad boys they do
B.A.D.-Bad, make your mom and daddy sad
B.A.D.-Bad, It's the bloody fix you do, the bloody fix you do
B.A.D.-Bad, make your mom and daddy sad
B.A.D.-Bad, gonna drive you raving mad
B.A.D.-Bad, make your mom and daddy sad
B.A.D.-Bad It's the bloody fix you do

SCHOOL DAZE

My eyes are burning, bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing, class bells screaming, I can't hear
A text book mad-house, twelve years
I'm here in a rage
A juveniles jail
And I'm here locked up in their cage
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
A blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
A homework hell-house screams at me - make the grade
Tick tock, three o'clock, I'm sittin here and counting off the days
A firebell is ringin' hell and I'd sure love to see it blaze - BURN IT DOWN!!
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
Nobody here is understanding me
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
I'm dying here and trying to get free
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high

HELLION

Hell-hound, hot leather on your legs
That smokin powder keg
You're riding on is hell-bound
And you're the one they claim
It's going down in flames
You're riding Hades' rails (Hellion)
Hellion -The devil's Hellion child
Hellion -will never have to die
Well child, you're sweatin' and you're stoned
That alcohol you downed
Makes you crazy- All night, you damn the hurt and pain
And drink the devils rain
It's screaming out your name
Hellion -The devil's Hellion child
Hellion -will never have to die
The Gods you worship are steel
At the altar of rock 'n' roll you kneel
A slave who forever rocks
Is chained in the devil's locks
And slain by the bloody axe I wail
Hellion -The devil's Hellion child
Hellion -will never have to die

SLEEPING IN THE FIRE

Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial
And your finger's in the fire
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our lie
Taste the love
The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love
The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire
I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn
Taste the love
The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love
The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire

ON YOUR KNEES

Dancing with danger right until dawn
The sin that you buy and you sell
Mom and daddy said "the life that you've led
You'll party you're way straight to hell"
On Your knees, You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
And I need you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Playing with fire, lust in you burns
Reflecting the flames in your eyes
Sex and pain insane, they're really the same
Misused and confused, bound and tied
On Your knees, You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
And I need you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
On your knees that's where you all shall be
Well I bid you come taste your first deadly sin
Riding the wild wind and the door to submission
Will open and you shall fall in
On Your knees, You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
And I need you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
On your knees
On your knees
On your knees
On your knees

TORMENTOR

I'm a liar and I'm a cheat
I have no morals and I'm a thief
Pillage and plunder, curse those who enter
I am a killer and tormentor
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
I'm a sinner, I kiss the breast
I am a sadist that whips the flesh
I'll take the women, curse those who enter
I am a killer and tormentor
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
Tormentor (tormentor)
I am the lord of liars
And I command the force of Fire

THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS

Bang, bang, banging in your head
You're banging on the walls
Hang, hang, hanging up youself
You're hanging by your balls
And you, you die but no-one hears or cares
And hope's the rope that keeps you tied in knots
The torture never stops
The torture never stops
Suck, suck, sucking at your life
Your master sucks the juice
Shoot, shoot, shooting at you
And the hangman's noose is loose
And you, you cry but no-one hears or cares
And hope's the rope that keeps you tied in knots
The torture never stops
The torture never stops
Your masters beat you bloody
Still you're running back for more
And every day, you lay down and play the whore
The torture never stops The torture never stops

1985 Here are the lyrics to the second W.A.S.P.
album "The Last Command"

WILD CHILD

I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you , cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you
Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him
When you run away cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do I want you

FISTFUL OF DIAMONDS

Money makes me crazy
Money makes me insane
Diamonds, silver, gold, and precious steel
I want it all It's mine to claim
I hold my hands out, I take it all
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Fortune come here to me, it's power that rules the game
Seduction of silver and lawless greed
I love it all, I damn the shame
The root of all evil can hear me call
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Solitaire, come cast a spell of magic
The smell of green I stack my dollars high
Intoxicating, my mind's wreaking havoc
A famous face, I get what you can't buy
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name

JACK ACTION

I've been uptown, all around
I've looked here there everywhere
He killed my babe, today, with a gun
I'll get him now, he can't run
Well I'm looking for, looking for
Looking for Jack Action
To get my satisfaction
Looking for Jack Action
I'm looking , looking...
Now I can't believe she's gone away
He better run, ya know I don't play
Took my babe, my life, he's on the run
Look out Jack now, here's my gun, yeah
Well I'm looking for, looking for
Looking for Jack Action
To get my satisfaction
Looking for Jack Action
I'm looking , looking...
Oh no, a man with a war to wage
I'm a suicide brigade
He's mine, he's all mine
My bullets are bearing his name
And his life is mine to claim
It's time, now it's time
Jack Action, where are you ?
It's been too long since I've known
Won't give up on you till I'm done
You'll be dead soon, you can't run, no
Cause I'm looking for, looking for
Looking for Jack Action
To get my satisfaction
Looking for Jack Action
I'm looking , looking...

WIDOWMAKER

A thousand years I've roamed the plains
And waved the hand of doom
I've seen the tears that fall like rain from the waste and all the ruin
A shadow's cast that falls from me on you
A time to claim
All that's mine
My wrath is blind
The balance is where you hang
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker
The cries of sadness never heard
Fall deaf upon my ears
The stench of madness, raging wars
I've seen a million years
The smell of sorrow fills the fields
And lingers in the sky
The littered ground will swallow down
The souls that fill my eyes
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker

BLIND IN TEXAS

An El Paso hellhole I couldn't higher
White lightning moonshine tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor, what I said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
I drank Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
San Antonio and the West Texas town El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild
Hey dude, let's party
Raisin hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoosegow police decided to come round-they said
"Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said
(spoken) i think i'll have another one
We aint got no more
What do ya mean you ain't got no more liquor?
We aint got no more
Go home what do ya mean go home?
What am i supposed to do... get on a horse and ride back to LA
The hell you say... suffer!
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind (Texas, texas, texas)

CRIES IN THE NIGHT

Oooh, I'm sitting down thinking about losing my mind
Cause I keep telling myself I'm only one of a kind
My life is broke because my dreams were shattered
For so very long nothing else mattered
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
Yeah, they pull at my hair, and call out my name
They think I'm cool and got worries with fame
But I'm living to lose and dying to win
With those people around here my patience wears thin
I'm hearing Cries in the Night I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
Yeah, I'm trying to get away, get away from it all
I stand and scream, I'm not gonna crawl
The dream never dies
That's why I sing the song
Like my maddening world, it turns on and on
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night

THE LAST COMMAND

You don't know what's in our hearts
This is our time, we've made our mark
And can't you understand, we'll fight till we fall?
But what do you want to do?
The time is right for you
To stand on your feet and answer the call
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
A thousand times I had this dream, the flag was high I heard a scream
That cut through the still of the night just like a knife
But that was yesterday, the darkness has gone away
I stand on the edge, and I pledge my life
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
The destiny that I control will sever
And break the bonds and set me free forever!
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command

RUNNING WILD IN THE STREETS

I'm looking to beat hell, looks like
I've got to run to be the leader
As my forces yell, you can hear 'em, can't you hear them?
All the way-we'll go the distance
All the way-stand behind me now
All the way-no turning back
All the way cause we are together
I'm standin' proud, we're screaming loud
I'll lead the crowd
Running wild in the streets
A heavy dose of mean, yeah, I'm a lethal combination
Hear my forces scream, you can see them, can't you see them ?
All the way-we'll go the distance
All the way-stand behind me now
All the way-no turning back
All the way we are together
I'm standin' proud, we're screaming loud
I'll lead the crowd
Running wild in the streets

SEX DRIVE

I got a message for you, it's something you love to do
You're thinking bout it all the time
You're lying in bed and it runs through your head
Cause you can't get it off your mind
You been thinking pink and you're losing sleep
That rush is almost all you can stand
You feel it getting hard and your crotch starts to throb
It's body language you understand

1986 Here are the lyrics to the third W.A.S.P.
album "The Electric Circus""

THE BIG WELCOME

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
And wild ones of all ages
Step right up, I welcome you to come on in
Inside the Electric Circus
The music is your passport, your magic key
To all the madness that awaits you
Feel the thunder and the frenzy
And see all the unusual animals
And the animals?
Well that's something else

INSIDE THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS

A scream unlocks the cage, the roars rock the stage
Hunger of the animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage, paw prints on the page
The room's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illuminating bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight
Welcome, I bid you welcome
To life inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane
God help us
Electricity to burn, amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road, insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might want to know
When it comes alive-crank up the show
Welcome, I bid you welcome
To life inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane
God help us

I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR

I don't need no doctor, cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor, cause I know what's ailing me
All I need is my baby, you don't know why I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
All I need is my baby, you don't know why I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
Well the doctor said I need rest
He put me on the critical list
Keeping me safe from harm
All I need is her sweet charm
He gave me a medicated lotion, that wouldn't do
Ooh, yeah my emotion, oh yeah
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y.

One woman down my street is too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes, wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning hot with love, a come on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
She said call me up baby it's gonna be
9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Ooh-no momma's baby, this child, she's a killer wrapped in high heel shoes
Touch her skin, it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said come on baby I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberated means
Do it to me baby, I'm losing my mind
She said call me up honey, tonight I'm
9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Some bad habits are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming,
I gotta shake shake shake
9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y. You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

RESTLESS GYPSY

For so long now, I'm racing on in the wind
On this road I'm moving on
I feel the heat, the desert sun burning skin
Never stopping, always on the run
Ooh, forever all I want is you here by my side
But I can't wait too long, no
Holding me is like taming the seven seas
I'm a restless gypsy
All I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy to the end
Riding free is all I need
My spirit's in the wind
Move too fast, no never hold me down
Catch me if you really think you can
Feel my touch, two lovers cry that sound
Never, ever knowing who I am
Ooh, I want you close baby, don't you take too long
Cause tomorrow I'll be gone yeah
And holding me is like holding the seven seas
I'm a restless gypsy
All I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy to the end
Riding free is all I need
My spirit's in the wind
Easy rider on the highway, got the wind in my hair
Come on, you can touch me where I lay, running free without a care
I'm a restless gypsy, all I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy to the end
Riding free is all I need
My spirit's in the wind

SHOOT FROM THE HIP

Oh, look out, here comes trouble!
All my life I've taken what I want
Give an inch, take a mile, always on the hunt
Ooh-sex, money, fast cars never get my fill
I ride hard and die free, paying for my thrills
Firewater moonshine going to my head
Me and my pistol's loaded, go out and knock 'em dead
I'm gonna shoot it
Bang boom - shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it
Bang boom, shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
Cock it and let 'er rip - tear it up baby
Hot sweaty steel, a woman's fingers on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger, squeeze it when I'm done
Ooh-come woman, touch me, put it in your hand
Take a hold, heart and soul, honey I'm your man
Cock the hammer slowly, and aim it at your love
Put my barrel in your holster like a velvet glove
I'm gonna shoot it
Bang boom, shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it
Bang boom, shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom, cock it and let 'er rip
Hot and sticky, here it comes, emotion you can't tame
Kinda tricky watch it run, smoking like a flame, flame, flame
Hot and sticky
Here it comes, I got the bullets
Load it up, slide it into place
My emotions coming down all across your face
I'm gonna shoot it
Bang boom - shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it - bang boom, shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom, cock it and let 'er rip

I'M ALIVE

The target is me, a monster you flee
I hate what you say and you do
A mirror is there and look if you dare
The fool that you see's only you
Oh, no you won't nail me to you tree
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despite all the liars I see
Don't give me your "Save my soul" cure
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand why
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn you holy man-alive
Can't understand, the lord of the land
Your heart and your head made of stone
Lay in the sand my blood on your hands
For God's sake just leave me alone
Oh no, you won't nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
Restless is all I can be
Ruthless and reckless you see
I don't need your "Save my soul" cure
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand why
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn you holy man-alive
Force suppression, that's what you do
Tell me what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand why
I-I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn you holy man-alive

EASY LIVING

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy living
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy living, I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I had walked behind you
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Waiting, watching, wishing my whole life away
Feeling, fainting, ready for my happy day
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I had walked right behind you
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

SWEET CHEETAH

One night as I rode down some long winding road
I saw you and I knew I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman, vision fantasy
Cast against the moonlight, bathed in ecstacy
Leopard skin and cat's eyes has the jungle made you wild?
The prey you're after, if you're faster
Will it make you smile?
Ride with me, I'll set you free
Chains can't hold us down
I need you, if you want me, lovers we are bound
Sweet Cheetah, Cheetah I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe Come do it to me
Cheetah, Cheetah I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe Come do it to me now, to me now
Skin tight you move in, so slowly to thrill
Waiting for the night time, then your In for the kill
Amazon so sleekly, you know what you do
Eat the flesh, and save my heart
And leave it when you're through
Pain and pleasures all mine
Untamed and running wild
Sink your teeth into me
Lick your lips and smile
Take my hand and ride the land
Forever you and me
Hold on tight, to me all night
And set your spirit free
Sweet Cheetah, Cheetah I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe Come do it to me
Cheetah, Cheetah I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe Come do it to me now, to me now

MANTRONIC

You see me, a man and machine
All my life so hungry and lean
Watch me bleed and I feel no pain
I'm going wild and slowly insane
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
One fast lane, on top of the world
Balls of steel, mechanical pearls
I pay my dues and suffer alone
Feel like hell and cut to the bone
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
Be careful now
Because what you wish for
May just come true if you look
Behind that door
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine

KING OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH

So you wanna know what's going on
When we get wild and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're going for bust
We live a life that's hell on wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Sodom and Gommorrah-ooh,
Sweet Gommorrah we're the present tribe-the present tribe
Children of the fire-of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive

THE ROCK ROLLS ON

There's never a day, that's passing my way
That I never need it
My hands on the wheel, my foot's on the steel
Cause I gotta feel it
The rock rolls forever on-ooh, forever on
Like thunder-coming down, ooh, it's coming down
The rock rolls forever on-ooh, forever on
Like thunder-coming down, aah yeah
It flows through my veins like thunder and rain
And I can't live without it
I scream for the crowds and turn it up loud
Cause I gotta shout it
The rock rolls forever on-ooh, forever on
Like thunder-coming down, ooh, it's coming down aah yeah
The rock rolls forever on-ooh, forever on
Like thunder-coming down
Six string and lightning strikes
Come make me blind
Aah, burn it up
Bring down the petal to the metal
Just one more time
Aah, turn it up
The rock rolls forever on
Like thunder-coming down, ooh, it's coming down
The rock rolls forever on-ooh, forever
Like thunder-coming down
Forever never stop
Forever never stop
Forever never stop

Here are the lyrics to the fifth W.A.S.P.
album "The Headless Children"

THE HERETIC (THE LOST CHILD)

These fits of depressions are torturing me
The lives that I seen won't breathe again
A sad child of madness, they'll never be free
Born again to die, the agonies begin
And soldiers keep coming-like warriors they die
But gangland's alive when mothers cry
Cause hate's blind addictions, a killing machine
And it burns on the fuel of shattered lives
Lost child, lost child
The seeds of all evil are sown in their minds
And harvest the sad fields of woe
Cause dead boys are martyrs
That live on forever
But now it's too late for their souls
Standing on sanities too fragile edge
And worship the Lord Of The Flies
And wade through the slaughter
You've made of thy brother
And drown in his blood then when he dies
You see in their eyes they're the lost child
See in their eyes
You see in their eyes they're the lost child
See in their eyes
Don't turn out the lights
Cause there's demons in the night
And they prey on the fears in us all
They hide inside and wait
And they shun the light of day
The screams in their dreams fill us all
Children of the night
Such a sad tune they rhyme
The bloody boys that sing a wicked song
And for all of them they're just memories in the wind
Rise and see It's the dawn of insanity
Keeper of the gates of fire
And the Heretic has said
You don't have to be afraid
Till I-till I come to get you
And child in time
On the swords edge you ride
And cast a spell of Heresy
And die in vain
Like a wild dog in chains
And no one can save Or set you free

The Real Me

I went back to the doctor to get another shrink
I sit and tell him about my weekend
But he never can change what he thinks
Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor
Can you see the real me, doctor, ooh doctor
I went back to my mother
I said I'm crazy Ma, help me
She said "I know how it feels son, cause it runs in the family"
C'mon tell me
Can you see the real me, mother, mother
Can you see the real me, mother, woah mother
Can you see, can you see, can you see the real me
Can you see, can you see the real me
The real me, the real me, the real me
The cracks between the pavement stones
Like rivers of flowing rain
Strange people who know me
From behind every window pane
The girl I used to love lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by, she don't want to know me now
Can you see the real me, can ya, can ya
Can you see the real me, woah yea
I ended up with the preacher, full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little, ha ha
So he showed me to the golden gate
Can you see the real me preacher, preacher
Can you see the real me woah yea
Can you see, can you see, can you see, woah yeah
Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor
Can you see the real me, mama
Can you see the real me me me me

THE HEADLESS CHILDREN

Father come save us from this madness we're under
God of creation are we blind?
Cause some here are slaves that worship guns that spit thunder
The children that you've made have lost their minds
This monster that we call the earth is bleeding
Cause the children have been left alone too long
This thing that we've made is fat and feeds on the hate
Of the millions that it's taught to sing the song
The Headless Children
The screams that fill the night, fill the night, fill the night, fill the night
The Headless Children
The madness steals the light, steals the light, steals the light, steals the light
Timebombs in the hands of all the wicked war babies
Light the fuse of temptation and we all burn
Four horsemen sit high up in the saddle and waiting and ride the bloody trail of no return
Sleeping in the arms of a nightmare
And wake to find we've been away too long
This frankenstein of flesh stitched together back from death
And preying on the souls of everyone
The Headless Children
The screams that fill the night, fill the night, fill the night, fill the night
The Headless Children
The madness steals the light, steals the light, steals the light, steals the light

THUNDERHEAD

Oh Thunderhead, you're a man with a problem
Ah old habits too hard to break
And soon you'll be dead from that poison you're on
Oh the venom that's worse than the snakes
And I say, hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
Needles and pins a dead man you're in
So deep you'll never climb out
Hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
A gun to your dead, the trigger you're dead
It's quicker and there ain't no doubt
Oh thunder, tie it off, you're in heaven
Oh you'll drown in the heroin flood
And die in your bed and sweat in detox
You're leaving this world
Oh your epitaph's written in blood
And I said hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
Needles and pins a dead man you're in
So deep you'll never climb out
Hey hey hey, oh no, hey hey hey
Oh no, hey hey hey: white thunder
A gun to your dead, the trigger you're dead
It's quicker and their ain't no doubt
Killer-you sceam and you bleed
Thriller-you spread your disease
Watch out, watch out
Thunder head-yes
I'm your master
Will you steal for me-yes
Will you ruin yourself and give everything unto me-yes
Will you lie, cheat, deceive, dishonor everything
And even kill thy brother for me-yes, yes
Will you worship only me as your true master-yes
Thunderhead, will you die for me-yes, master

MEAN MAN

A tatooed madman, I am hell on wheels
Born a wicked child left alone in the fields
My father was the wind, my mother was fire
Raised by the wolves and I grew up wild
A kamikaze man, a hollering banzai
Never crash and burn, never gonna die
Cannibal it's me, you squeal and shout
I chew you up and spit you out
Storms a c-c-coming and it's gonna be me
Here comes Trouble with a capital "T"
Cause I'm a mean mother****ing man
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
Cause I'm a mean mother****ing man
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All they way, all the way, all the way
Chewbacca in the rye, the water of fire
A terror in the flesh, a killer for hire
California man I'm white line, "Homer"
The unruly one they call the "Blonde Bomber"
Scooter gypsy, I'm a renegade
An orphan of the road, a live hand grenade
Never gonna quit before my time
When the moon gets high then I'll be blind
Mad dog 20-20's king
I drink that stuff and start getting obscene
Cause I'm a mean mother****ing man
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
Cause I'm a mean mother****ing man
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All they way, all the way, all the way
I'm a motorcycle man don't never give a damn
I lie when the truth serves better
The Marquee de Sade, I cheat and steal and rob
A heavy metal creature
All the way, all the way

THE NEUTRON BOMBER

He came from the east, they called him a beast
This king of terror insane
Neutron Ronnie, the people would whisper his name
Dangerous and man, a torch in his hand
Spreading fire by the light of the moon
Ooh, pyrotechnical wizard of doom
Oh no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the boy with the flame
All his life has been burning inside
Oh no no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the bomber's insane
Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes
A phantom so cool all midnight would rule
A molotov cocktail would reign
Babies screaming and house would go up in flames
When next goes Ronnie nobody knows
But inside him's where Lucifer hides
Ooh, he's the boy with the bombs at his side
Ooh no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the boy with the flame
All his life has been burning inside
Oh no no, here comes
Ronnie Ah the bomber's insane

MEPHISTO WALTZ

-instrumental

FOREVER FREE

I ride all alone and can't see
The road to nowhere anymore
And shadows whispers are calling me
To forbidden forests by the shore
And there she fell deep in the night
One breath away from heaven's light
And she said-don't cry for me, I'm leaving you
The wind cries her name in the breeze
But I can't hold her anymore
Some fallen angel had come to me
And fell to heavy on my soul
And stole from me the love that I heard
Lords of time say never die
And said-don't cry for me, cause I'll be
Riding the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
I'll ride the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
Forever free
Forever in my hearts afire, a fire burning
I wake up nights and hear her crying, crying my name
Riding the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free I ride the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
Forever free

MANEATER

Turn loose the lightning metal hawgs and set me free
Turn loose my crying metal hearts, 1200 cc's
Cold steel forever I'm gonna ride and burn the flame
That breathes the fire-breathes the fire And can't be tamed
Thunder rolling down the highway
These wheels of fire eat you alive
Them outlaw riders going my way
A Harley child until I die
Run to the scorching desert sun
V twins will scream Into the blackness of the night at twisting speed
High on the hawg I'm riding on engines explode
It feels like thunder, it's breathing fire, it rules the road
Milwaukee metal on the highway
These wheels of fire eat you alive
Them outlaw riders going my way
Only the strong here will survive
Maneater-born free I ride
Maneater-wings of freedom burn the line
For metal minds
Them bad boys riding on forever
When they die they ride in Harley heaven

REBEL IN THE F.D.G.

I live my life like a shot in the wind
If tomorrow don't come I know I stole my share of fun for me
Cause I'm too fast, too rad I'm going wasted when I go
The cost of freedom's never free
It's the deep six, it's my fix
It's my best friend, cause it's my way or the highway
I'll tell you it's the living end
I'm a rebel in the FDG
And I say only God in heaven knows
I'm a bad child, come and love me
And I say, oh yeah
If you're fast you might last
Slow you gotta go
A wild one in the decadent zoo
Ooh, I lick up all my seven deadly sins
Cause I'm too hot, too cool
Oh I've been playing in the fire of fools
I might burn but I'll burn in the wind
It's the deep six, it's my fix
It's the big jam, cause it's my way or the highway
I'll tell you what I am
Oh I, I feel the heat and I, I touch the flesh and bone
And I feel the kiss of fire
Too fast to live, too fast to die
Mom and daddy say, "I'm dancing in the fire"
Sometimes I feel like an animal in a cage
I pace back and forth and look around
For something to sink my teeth into
But nobody knows what's going on inside me

1993 Here are the lyrics to the sixth W.A.S.P.
album "The Crimson Idol"

THE TITANIC OVERTURE

look at my face in the mirror
And I don't understand
Don't feel like a boy and it's not getting clearer
But I don't feel like a man
I'm seventeen and I'm somebody's son
My dad don't know where I stand
Cause when he looks at me
He don't like what he sees
He don't know what I am

THE INVISIBLE BOY

Jonathon - I was the boy unwanted, a prisoner
I'm born to them
My brother was the one, that couldn't do no wrong
And I was there dying in the shadow of him
Jonathon to his father - Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah I'm the new whipping boy
Who am I -the orphan son you would never need?
Who am I -cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Who am I -the slave you gave just the air I breathe?
Who am I -cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Jonathon - Oh I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head
And I can't rest, the scare me to death
But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead?
Jonathon to his father - Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah I'm the new whipping boy
Jonathon to the mirror - Oh, why me?
The mirror - Why him
Jonathon - Can you tell me?
The mirror - It's confession again? Come talk to me, I see in your eyes
Titanic misery, ashamed that you're alive
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
I'm the mirror my boy
Some people never go crazy
What truly boring lives they must lead
Is there no love to shelter me? Only love, love sets me free

ARENA OF PLEASURE

I don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to get there
All I know is, I'm just going
I ran away from home last night, gone forever
I was running for my life
And I've heard the words of what I should be Live, Work, Die
I am the orphan of the night
Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins
Inside the pleasure dome
Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures
Where I belong
I'm in the eye of my rage, where the hurricane lies
Oh, a storm's in my eyes
And like the beast that's in my soul, I'm the restless child
Ah mama, I'm running for my life
I was sixteen going nowhere, will I see seventeen alive
And I was running from the nightmare
I stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes
I'm at the crossroad of my destiny and desire
Oh, God, what will I be
And my obsession is the gasoline to feed my fire
Oh it's burning in me
Don't waste the tears on my wasted years
Mama I'm outta here
They are poisoned snakes with double tongues
Horney hedgehogs who do their wrong
Deaf men and blind worms, they'll be not seen
They are pawns and rooks for a crimson king
They are a government with a parliament of whores
Can you hear the screams from the fame machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue?

CHAINSAW CHARLIE (MURDERS IN THE NEW MORGUE)

Charlie to Jonathon - O.K. boy now here's your deal
Will you gamble your life?
Sign right here on the dotted line
It's the one you've waited for all of your life
Jonathon to Charlie - Ah -will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave
Jonathon - Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
See old Charlie and the platinum armies
Making me their boy
Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
He'll make ya scream for the cash machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue
Charlie to Jonathon - We'll sell your flesh by the pound you'll go
A whore of wrath just like me
We'll sell ya wholesale, we'll sell your soul
Strap on your sixstring and feed our machine
Jonathon to Charlie - Ah -will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave
Charlie to Jonathon - Welcome to the morgue boy
Where the music comes to die
Welcome to the morgue son
I'll cut your throat just to stay alive
Ah, trust me boy I won't steer you wrong
If you trust me son
You won't last very long
Charlie to Jonathon - I'm the president of showbiz, my name is Charlie
I'm a cocksucking asshole, that's what they call me
Here from my Hollywood tower I rule
I'm a lying mother****er, the chainsaw's my tool
The new morgue's our factory, to grease our lies
Our machine is hungry, it needs your life
Don't mind the faggots, and the ruthless scum
Before we're done, son we'll make you one
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, But I'll make you a star
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, but i'll make me the star

THE GYPSY MEETS THE BOY

Jonathon - The tarot is fate, said the Gypsy Queen
And she beckoned me, to glimpse my future she'd seen
Gypsy to Jonathon - She said, do you see what I see?, be careful to choose
Be careful what you wish for, cause it may come true
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool?
Will it turn up sorrow?
If it does then you lose
Jonathon to the Gypsy - I'm the lost boy can you help me
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
Jonathon - Then the illusion was real, a crimson idol I saw
But the higher he'd fly, then the further he'd fall
Jonathon to the Gypsy - I'm the lost boy can you help me?
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
Jonathon to the Gypsy - I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million
I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million eyes Of a million
DOCTOR ROCKTER Jonathon - He's the king of sting, Mr. Morphine my friend
Uncle Slam, the medicine man
And I'm a junkie with a big King Kong sized monkey
Crawling up and down my back
Doctor Rockter - Oh, I'll help ya son to rearrange your mind
Oh, I'll help ya son but ya gotta buy this time
I'm your doctor
Jonathon to Doctor - Help me please, oh Doctor, help me please
Doctor Rockter, you know I need you
Doctor please, my M.D., fix me in my time of need
But, can ya see the fire that's in my eyes
Jonathon - It's the mirror from the wall, that's on the table
Feeding me little white lies
And I'm wasted in a waste land, I'm a junk man
I got tombstones in my eyes
Ah, help me Uncle Slam, the beast claims another man
Cocaine, Codine, 714, a tuinol blindfold just what I need
Help me, help me, help me Help me please
Oh Doctor, help me please
Doctor Rockter, you know I need you
Doctor please, my M.D., fix me in my time of need
But, can ya see the fire that's in my eyes

I AM ONE

Demolition, mission-man
The old boy is hating me
I've become the one, they warned me about -oh he's gonna die before me
Oh I am one love I am one I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
18 bloody roses, each a year that bled my soul
18 and numb, I'm somebody's son
Mama, look what I've become
Will he take me down to the gallows
And kill the boy inside the man
I'm just a rock and roll nigger
I know he don't know what I am
I don't see my face in the mirror
And more, or understand
Why am I the chosen one
I'm the crimson man
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me

THE IDOL

- Lawless Will I be alone this morning
Will I need my friends
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith

If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh -being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free

HOLD ON TO MY HEART

There's a flame, flame in my heart
And there's no rain, can put it out
And there's a flame, it's burning in my heart
And there's no rain, ooh can put it out
So just hold me, hold me, hold me
Take away the pain, inside my soul
And I'm afraid, so all alone
Take away the pain, that's burning in my soul
Cause I'm afraid that I'll be all alone
So just hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me
Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me
And oh no, don't let me go cause all I am
You hold in your hands, and hold me
And I'll make it through the night
And I'll be alright, hold on, hold on to my heart

THE GREAT MISCONCEPTIONS OF ME

Jonathon to the audience -Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rights of me
Jonathon to his mother - Remember me?
You can't save me
Mama you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me
Jonathon to all - I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million
Jonathon to all - I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
Jonathon to the King of Mercy - Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Jonathon to all - There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true
Jonathon to the King of Mercy / Jonathon to all / Jonathon to his father - Red, crimson red
Am I the invisible boy
The strap on my back
Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no it never was me
Jonathon to all - Living in the limelight little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide
Jonathon to the King of Mercy - Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be The crimson idol of a million I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't
wanna be The crimson idol of a million eyes Jonathon to all - No love, to shelter me, only love Love set me free No love, to shelter
me, only love Love set me free

album "First Blood Last Cuts"

Animal (F*** Like A Beast)

I Got Pictures Of Naked Ladies
Lying On Their Beds

I'm Making Artificial Lovers for Free
I Start To Howl I'm In Heat
I Moan And Growl And The Hunt Drives Me Crazy
I **** Like A Beast
I Come Round, Round I Come Feel Your Love
Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love
I Come Round, Round I Come Feel Your Love
Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love
I'm On The Prowl And I Watch You Closely
I Lie Waiting For You
I'm The Wolf With The Sheepskins Clothing
I Lick My Chops And Your Tasting Good
I Do Whatever I Want To, To ya
I'll Nail Your Ass To The Sheets
A Pelvic Thrust And The Sweat Starts To Sting Ya
I **** Like A Beast
I Come Round, Round I Come Feel Your Love
Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love
I Come Round, Round I Come Feel Your Love
Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love

Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love
I Come Round, Round I Come Feel Your Love
Tie You Down, Down I Come Steal Your Love

Rock And Roll To Death

SUNSET AND BABYLON

Just a little bit west of old Pasadena
Is the place I go, I call it home for me
Call it what you will
Tinseltown for real
It's the open edge where the debutantes run free
Hollywood, California, Rocktown USA
Cruising down the stirp is where I'll be
At the Rainbow bar and grill
I'll drink till I get my fill
The home of the movie stars is where you'll find me
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the faultline tonight
Everybody's lost in the land of Disney
Ecstacy and Sister Misery
Save your soul boy, but not to the stars
Ha ha ha
It's the land of the twenty four hour party
And my fist firmly wrapped around a fifth of Bacardi
On the Sunset Strip's where the orphans play tonight
So if you wanna get really rude
Jus come on down and we'll get crude
Cause there ain't no place like here
Baby I mean nowhere
Cause in here's the land of sun and sin
All the freaks here gonna let you in
The shooting stars and the poseurs are gonna be there
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the faultline tonight

Here are the lyrics to the eight W.A.S.P.
album "Still not Black Enough"

STILL NOT BLACK ENOUGH

Paint a shadow on my heart
In shades of ebony
Paint the sun out of the sky
That rains over me
Black sun, rain on me
I need one, black sun
Rain on me, rain on me
Tie me to my blackness there
Where I'm ever free
Taken to the dark edges of
My wicked memories
Paint my soul in indigo, and ebony for me
No colour seen in my eyes, none in my eyes
I'm naked in my misery
Emotions stripped to bone
I see inside the heart of me
It's still not black enough for me
No colour in the heart of me
No colour run in my veins
I hold the black to my breast
It bleeds over me
I can't go on till I get off
For me it's still not black enough
With darkness gone, my fear is seen
My fear is real, my fear is me

SOMEBODY TO LOVE

When the truth is found to be lies
You know the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You Better find someone to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
When the dawn is rose, they are dead
Yes and you're mine, you're so full of red
Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Tears are running
Running along down your breast
And your friends baby
They treat you like a guest

BLACK FOREVER

There's red in my head but I don't want it
The blues were swarming there in my soul
Shadows over me and
The only colour I can paint my soul
I want black and don't fade away
I want it black forever
Inside of me, all I wanna see's
The colours in my head
I'm in black the only way
And make it black forever
Go inside and go inside and
Never come back out again
Don't colourize me
Cause I don't want it
The ravens taken over my soul
The only thing I want is
The only way I wanna go
The reds were in my head, the blues were in my soul
Swirl in my mind, never let go
Blind my eyes with a cold embrace
I'll lay my veil all across my face
Everyone I used to know
Sees me strange, sees me bold
Everthing I used to hold
Will fade away my soul
No confessions and no regrets
I'll paint the black all across my chest
Gimme darkness and gimme rest
Gimme blackness or gimme death
SCARED TO DEATH Grit your teeth and listen for the gun
Get in the runners block and kneel
And run the human race
That decadent decathalon
Let the games begin for real
Stop scaring me-it's bedlam in paradise
Stop I can't see-nowhere I can hide
Scared to run, this monstrous marathon of fear
I run the races with a dark horse to win
Across a finish line of fear
I swim a sea of skin, afraid to drown in flesh
X-generation, revolutions here
Scared to have sex-I don't wanna die
Scared I'll be next-I'm scared for my life
Dying to live, but there ain't no way outta here alive
All we're all scared there's
Nowhere to run-I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide-scared I'll be next
Oh-stop, stop, stop, stop
Nowhere to run-I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide-scared I'll be next
Oh-stop, stop, stop, stop
Am I a prisoner of the universe?
Is destiny fixed among the stars?
Should I cry or laugh?
All I know is that
The best time to laugh is any time you can
Life's one big party-thrown here by God
We all get invitations-if we want them or not
It's all truth or dare and nothing is fair
No no no
We're all scared there's
Oh, it's the decade of fear
No way out of here, no, no, no
No, no, no -no, no, no -no, no, no
Oh scream in my ears
Oh stop what I hear, no, no, no
No, no, no -no, no, no -no, no, no

GOODBYE AMERICA

I'm politically incorrect and damn proud of it
I love my country but I'm scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause it's all that we give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm wholeselling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I've mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide
I'm the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red man
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth
I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world's phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I'd fool you all as I'd feed ya
I'll prop you up then strike you down
And lick your blood up form your ground
Humpty fuckin dumpty
My empire's falling down
Breakdown, goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died

TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN

Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little schoolbabe
Your momma says you don't
And your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that Grousin' an' snipin'
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
Your momma and your daddy gonna plague me til I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a peace lovin' guy?
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down.

KEEP HOLDING ON

Your sad eyes never told me
No paradise here for the lonely
But I hold on, half a heart here in my hands
Been so long, would you know me
Who's holding you, who's gonna hold me
If you want me, then I'll be your man
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
Can you take me to heaven
Show me the way cause I'm no angel
I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
WIll I have your memory
Or will your memory have me
I don't know, only time knows if I'll ever know peace of mind
Only time knows if you're mine, if you're mine
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
All I can hold is a shadow of a heart that's gone
And left me shattered I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down

ROCK N ROLL TO DEATH

Thunder pounding my brains in
A six string rock and roll razor
Nobody's gonna save me
The whole world drives me crazy
I hate work, I hate school
I got a case of the rock's dead blues
Friday night I'll be raging
Midnight gonna be wasted
Friday I'm raising
Hell, I'm gonna be wasted
Time to party, raise a glass
Tell everybody to kiss my ass
Let me go-dead or rock, dead or rock
Dead or rock, dead or rock
If rock and roll dies
I'll take my last breath Rock and roll to death
Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
Find me a grave, help me dig it
If rock's dead then bury me with it
Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
To death do us part to my last breath
Gimme rock or gimme death
BREATHE You don't have to hear my heart beat
All you need is to look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the one you heart needs
I'n the only one you run to in the night
Oh let me burn the words forever mine
Across your heart, across your mind
Take your hands and feel my heart beat
Come and let me feel it in your eyes
All you have to do is touch me
Oh and lay your flame across my fire
Oh let me spread your wings and come inside
And take your heart and make you mind
Come and lay down your heart on me
All that I wanna feel is
Breathe in me
Lay down your heart on me
Feel you inside of me
Breathe on me
Come and take me on, take me down
Oh take me all the way
There's only one way
Only one thing I need, all I need
Take me way down
Come and lay down on me

I CAN'T

I can't laugh I can't cry I can't see inside of me
Don't know the reason why
I ain't straight
And I ain't high
I'm the ugly in between
Can't live and I can't die
I wanna scream
And I can't win
My life's a living soundtrack
For a human horror film
I can't feel
And I can't love
My mama never showed me how
I never was enough
I can't laugh
And I can't smile
I'll sacrifice my aged elders
To show me how to die
I can't love
And I can't feel
And my mother never loved me
Deep down she hated me
I can't f***
I can't feel
I'm one bizzare mother****er
What the ****'s inside of me
I'll kill the beast so to free my soul
And smash the mirrors that won't let me go
Oh if there's a smile that ya see
It's only the clockwork orange that's in me
I curse the darkness impassioned plea
And tear the heart out and watch me bleed
I'll sacrifice my blood for free
To satisfy the vengence that's in me
And bury the mirror that's inside me

NO WAY OUT OF HERE

I went away for a whole lot of days
And stripped the soul right outlaw me
Lead away in a crimson haze
The red was rain over me
There ain't no way outta here
I try to scream, I can't even speak
Why am I the only one
I can't get out and I can't go on
There ain't no way out of here
Forever red and I'm never free
Climb the wall, I can't hold on I can't go back and I can't go on
There were faces in the dark and
In me I could not see
The mirror cracked in a million pieces
And so did I cause Johnny's me
I'll fade forever black away
I'll give all my tomorrows for just one good today
I'm numb to feel, don't know what's real
The ghost is killing me

1997

TAKE THE ADDICTION

Show me the nerves twitching on your face

Hey, hey, yeah kiss the affliction
Oh a pretty kill away, a kill away tonight

Hooray for the last of the madness

Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, I know that's all you want
Kill me, I know that's all you, all that you want

Kill me, I wanna die in your arms forever
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, so my tortured eyes

As I stare into the eyes of my misery
And I'll leave you with the memory of me
My sweetest revenge lies here in your misery
Hooray for the horror of darkness
Horray for the horror is me

Gimme some death daddy, my name's misery

TOKYO'S ON FIRE (Japanese release only)

Big mondo fun, the land of the rising sun
A monster rising in my eyes
My eyes are red with blood
And I can't see the sun
Come with me and you're gonna die
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Itchi-Ban of sin I'll be the night time king
Take me to the devil's hole
And let me feel your roar
Your demon alcohol
My monster ain't got no control
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire

KILL YOUR PRETTY FACE

He come slow, the slither man
So long crawls out of his own dead skin
He come, he come
I come here for your pain
I come take all your pain away
Two in me, they can't see who they are
No, no, no little voice, with big horror
Come meet the advocate's devil
Leave your soul at the door
And come on inside
Asylums of lost insane
A kiss from some slowly dying face
Two in me, they can't see who they are no, no, no
Sex and death and the american west
Fuck us all, farewell to flesh
I want you, I want to, I want to kill you
Wanna kill your pretty face, kill your pretty face
Come on give me a little piece of death
The darkened heart inside the self
To lives to sleep, to dies awake
Kill your pretty, kill your pretty face
Kill your pretty face
Tear the heart out of mother and mother bleeds
Cut mother open, and the wounded mother dies

U

How I hate your ****ing face
And do you hear me now

Can you see yourself I lie in my bed
Fantasizing your death

And how do you sleep with what you are?
What you turned out to be
**** you, kill yourself
You ****en suck
You ****en suck
You ****en suck
Liar you know I do I wish you well
Liar I died for you I wish you well in hell ...in hell

THE HORROR

There's a red worm crawling in my head
Cut in half worm, in my blood he lies red
And I see him in my head
It's my nightmare, oh it's my dream
He's inside here silencing my screams
Alone on a razor's edge
Alone sliding on the razor's edge
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh
I am him I am hell, I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes
A killer's listening to horrors in my head
He's bleeding, sliding on the razor's edge
Through my eyes he watches me
He lies inside watching me
There's a red noise deep inside my head
An obscure noise and the smell of slow death
If there's a hell then I'll be there
I am god, obscene death
I'm the worm on razor's edge
All pigs die
Kill, ****, die
I am hell, godless me
I am pagan idolatry
Kneel before the horror
Kneel before the horror
**** me, kill me, drink my blood
**** me, kill me, drink my blood
All pigs die, kill, ****, die
Kill, ****, die
Kill, ****, die
Kill, ****, die
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh I am him I am hell
I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes
