Too weak to run defacer eraser too weak to run, hey my friend now monkey boy chief remember by name and cut this groove deep oh deep in the wind a misery wind a misery wind take it over and explode to the now is a freedom a fool’s passion love loud but wait-eighty-eight now where did it all begin push to the point of a danger love where did it all begin you got more than you deserve water walker a spirit hunter hunt until kingdom come who goes–freedom a junk messiah–sparkle mankind–hey girl, burn now gather round crew and picture this now gather round crew and get behind the wheel of a big white Cadillac a true zombie scavenger is a joy digging through your paradise now is a freedom a fool’s passion bend the steeple and teach it to dance in a black blue oasis time to sing medicine man sing like a medicine man
2 Slaughter The Grey 04:07
As I stand by the side of the river watching the virgin Mary float by watching the currents drag her by a low song how long is gone a low song under the waves would she be saved under the waves would she be saved but
I sit back and remember god and a bomba baby burn on white angel wing all the children start to sing voices soaring to the sky time is now – time to hang ’em high…
Cannibalistic cardinals suck the whirlpool dry never stop to ask why – jagged teeth across the sand are they blind pray the big man -O the king rat who ordered the attack O king rat who ordered the attack…on the edge of the eve of the saint evil eye catmanfall to the ground crows picking at his brain ten thousand times he gone insane new day riders stormed the walls the bigger they are the harder they fall…
Ain’t got no time for love I ain’t got no time for love ain’t got no time for love he fall down -shock-she fall down -shock-we fall down -shock- we fall down -shock-ain’t got no time for love ain’t got no time for love ain’t got no time for love ain’t got no time for love but
I sit back and remember go and a bomba baby burn on white angel wing all the children start to sing voices soaring to the sky time is now -time to hang ’em high…
Deep in the blazing mud dogs in the blazing mud wild in the streets wild from the heat symphony angel rape got no hope no escape blood drip eye step inside step inside slaughter the grey slaughter.. it’s all a circus of fear anyway ain’t no master mind to care today dancing on a gruesome crime sundown gonna trap the time water birds flaming dove seek to kill what they most love
