Gasmask

This forest has eyes, it can see for miles
it knows about the trolls and their pet crocodiles
it knows about the razor wires and the chemical fires
it knows when blood is spilled, it never stands completely still
The left hand of god readjusted the moon
now the clock is ticking out of tune
the doctors spitting all over the room
that gasmask is not enough to save you
But if you don't believe, you've already lost
The trolls that live in the castle eat their gold with silver spoons
if you snore too loud you'll be on the menu too
executions are held in the dining hall to celebrate a bride & groom, or to ring in the new year, or just a Tuesday afternoon
there were diamonds in the mountains
now theres garbage in the water
theres poison in the dirt
the fires only getting hotter
theres sixty billion reasons that we should be much smarter
the holy ghost is clawing at all our sons and daughters
but if you don't believe, you've already lost

I let my brain bleed, this music is all that we need
with the world dead and gone i'm safe in this song
let my brain bleed, asleep outside in the leaves
safe in this song
dancing with Valerie
The sun hasn't risen in days
still the band rattles the stage
ramblers romance, its a stumblers dance
singin' and trippin' all over the place
Wes clears the table with the side of his face

Hold the gallows, save the innocent souls
Decapitate the crown and no more heads shall roll
spark the flame, many moon to the day
burn The throne, save the witches from the stake
Right up from the roots, her tree has seen the worst
generations pass, share the same deadly thirst
to break the chain is a dangerous game
it's not easy to be the first
but to keep the train on the tracks is stay and inherit the curse
Take it apart piece by piece
crack the skull and dissect the brain
only to find the jury was wrong
the killer was not insane
not a killer at all
but a man that knew love, and could teach the value of pain
A man dragged down to the depths and returned just to be shot down again

Bomby dreams, tanqueray nights
juniper makes vodka taste nice
pass me the bottle, throw me in the bin
down that bottle of the sweetest tasting thing
gimme gin
I went a walking through the graveyard
to the corpses i did speak
tomorrow i could be your neighbour
today i raise another drink!

Nobody Needs to Know

The devil shows up in a three piece suit, thin black tie, snake skin shoes
not spinning lyes, only twisting the truth
a pocket full of cash, looking at you
hungry eyes and a crooked grin
oil drips from the whiskers on his chin
he smells of death, sex, cigars & sin
feel his breath on your neck as he leans on in..
Swept away by a dame in red with curves like flames and pistol full of lead
she marked my soul and left me for dead
with a melody burning in my head
The days are long and the nights are cold
when you'r working too hard and sleeping alone
it seems all of the problems in your world could be solved
if you only had enough gold... nobody needs to know..
Dress it up, wash it away
let the demons hide until the light fades
release the beast inside the cage
its a bitter end of a losing gamee

Ring the Bell

All you get is scraps when your late to the kill
what the wolves don't take, the vultures will
so you shield your yellow eyes from the evil golden skies
sweep the trash lands, but theres nothing to hunt
if those chewed up bones could tell
they'd say i was the last that fell
you might as well ring the fucking bell
When your grandkids grandkid curls up in the dust
and asks across the ages "why so much?"
you might hear her now, and you might have your doubts
surely one more little spree couldn't hurt?
lemony scents hide the smell of santo pissing in the well
you might as well ring the fucking bell

Bottom of the Barrel

At the bottom of the barrel, thats the sweetest drink
i'll even drink the barrel just to get to that last drink
cabernet chiraz, chianti and barolo
but the sweetest drink of all that shit
is at the bottom of the barrel
You heart will break, your feet will ache, you'll spill your guts on the floor
and for all that goes wrong, surely you'll find a song
probly one million, or more
Smashing glass, dropping bottles, leaning up against the wall
drinking cases, getting wasted, happy birthday to us all!
