1. CAREER OF EVIL

I plot your rubruic scarab, i steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you choose to show
And you know i will not apologize

You're mine for the taking, i'm making a career of evil
Pay me i'll be your surgeon, i'd like to pick your brain
Capture you. Inject you. Leave you kneeling in the rain
I'd like your blue eyes horseshoe. I'd like your emerald

Horny toad i'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road
And then i'd spend your ransom money but still i'd keep your sheep.
I'd peel the mask you're wearing and then rob you of your sleep.


2. SUBHUMAN

I am becalmed. Lost to nothing
Warm weather and a holocaust
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep

Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as i bleed
So ladies, fish and gentlemen, here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag and meet me by the sea

Oyster boys are swimming for me now
Save me from the death-like creatures
Oyster boys are swimming now hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand but fear is real and so do i
Oyster boys are swimming for me
Just one deal is what we made

Now forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
Even locks that don't explode when the skies become a scroll
So ladies fish and gentlemen, here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag and meet me by the sea.


3. DOMINANCE AND SUBMISSION

I spent ten years, half my life
Just getting ready, and then it was time
Warpage in the figures, radios appear
Midnight was the barrier back in 1963

Each night the covers were unfolded
Each night it's suzy's turn to ride
While charles, the one they call her brother
Covers on his eyes, murmers in the background
It will be time.

Susan and her brother charles, the grinning boy
Put me in the back seat and they took me for a ride
The radio was on, can't you dig the locomotion
Kingdoms of the radio, 45 rpm. Too much revolution then.

It's past midnight said charles, the grinning boy
And looking at me greedily said it's 1964
In times square now people do the polka
New years eve it was the final barrier
We took you up and put you in the back seat
From year to year we looked out for the venture

Dominance and submission


4. ME 262

Goering's on the phone to freiburg
Says willie's done quite a job
Hitler's on the phone from berlin
Says i'm gonna make you a star

My captain von ondine, here's your next patrol
A flight of english bombers across the canal
After 12 they'll all be here. I think you know the job
They hung there dependent from the sky

Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers ripened and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that i might die.
Must they live that i might die

In a g-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes i'd faint and be lost to our side
But there's no reward for failure (but death)
So watch me in mirrors, keep me on the glidepath

Get me through the radar. No i cannot fail
When my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can't fail, no, not now when 25 bombers wait ripe.
Me 262 prince of turbo jet, junker's jommo 004

Blasts from clustered r4m quartets in my snout
And see these english planes go burn
Well you be my witness how red were the skies
When the fortress flew for the very last time

It was dark over westphalia in aprip of '45


5. CAGEY CRETAN

Oooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there dummy? What you got there man?
What you got there honey? What is it? A worm?
Dumb clouds are raging. Stupid clouds at my door.

Creepy weather coming, hanging round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away and don't come back no more
Oooooh cagey what you got?
Got an awful tummy. Oh no, it's inflamed

It's so lonely honey in the state of maine
I'm graduating in one more term
Because i haven't any time to burn
Repeating taste of high heeled shoe

An eel is waiting under the train
Being chased around by the neighbour's cat
It's so lonely in the state of maine
Dumb bells are ringing, ringing in my ear

Mothers' wombs are crying, ringin in my fear
Mothers never run except when rape is near.
Ooooooh cagey


6. HARVESTER OF EYES

Harvester of eyes thats me, and i see all there is to see
When i look inside your head
Right up front to the back of your skull
That's my sign that you are dead
And my list for you checks off as null.

I'm the harvester of eyes.
I'm the eyeman of tv with my occular tb
I need all the peepers i can find
Like inside the barn where you find the hay.
Just last week i took a ride

So high on eyes i almost lost my way
I'm the harvester of eyes.


7. FLAMING TELEPATHS

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do
Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do
Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

And the joke's on you


8. ASTRONOMY

The clock strikes 12 and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reasons tend to fly away

Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in may
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away

Come susie dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beack.
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where winds come from

Well it's never said at all on the map that carrie reads
Behind that clock back there
You know,at the four winds bar
4 winds at the four winds bar

2 doors locked and windows barred
One door left to take you in, the other one just mirrors it
The queenly flux eternal light
Or the light that never warms

The clock strikes 12 and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place.
Miss carrie nurse and susie dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar

It's the nexus of the crisis and the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly encounter time
And then came me.
Call me desdanove, eternal light.

These gravely digs of mine should surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent

Astronomy - a star.

9. BOORMAN THE CHAUFFEUR

Feeling kinda sickly cause a too much fun
I wasn't like the only one
Feeling kinda sickly cause a too much fun
I wasn't like the only one

Crawling on the edge of a dark moon trip
The second time around and you think you might slip
Off this peak you're climbing
But the limo man he just kept drivin'

Meltin' down the music cause the heat's on high
They said we might all get by
Meltin' down the music cause the heat's on high
They said we might all get by

Tryin' for the handle of what you mean
The skies resembling some mirror dream
Madness a sea of fire shinin'
But the limo man he just kept drivin'

Boorman the Chauffeur (Boorman the Chauffeur)
Boorman the Chauffeur (Boorman the Chauffeur)

Boorman the Chauffeur (Life this ride it's is a fantasy)
(Boorman the Chauffeur)
Boorman the Chauffeur (Dreams they change I can hardly see)
(Boorman the Chauffeur)

The guitars played in a trance
And left us dying into a dance

Starin' down the barrel of his sole shotgun
I thought it was time to run
Starin' down the barrel of his sole shotgun
I thought it was time to run
Fugitive from living's the way to be
Speedin' down the miles and you pay the fee
In circles of confusion they're cryin'

But the limo man he just kept drivin'


10. MOMMY

Yeah, this song is about your Mother!
Your Mother!

My Mother buys Diamonds, my Mother buys Pearls.
You know my Mommy is, she's a Pearl of a Girl.
I hate my Mother, I hate my Wife.
I'd like to kill em both, its a fact of life!
I'd like to plan it now, I'm gonna use a knife!

My wife is a Hippo, she's as Big as a House.
I'm gonna feed her, a poisonous mouse.
I hate my Daughter, I hate my Mom.
Their clothing's a mess, I hope they buy a farm.
I gotta run away, I'd like to use a Bomb.

Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.

My Daughter buys Diamonds, my daughter buys Pearls.
You know my Daughter is, she's a Pearl of a Girl.
I hate my Daughter, I hate my Mom.
I'd like to see 'em dead, I hope they buy a Farm.
I'm gonna plan it now, I'm gonna use a Bomb!

Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.
Mommy, Mommy.

I hate them dames!

12. BORN TO BE WILD

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild


13. CAREER OF EVIL

I plot your rubric scarab,
I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my
Baby tonight, baby tonight

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil

Pay me I'll be your surgeon
I'd like to pick your brain
Capture you inject you
Leave you kneeling in the rain
Kneeling in the rain

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil

I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe,
I'd like your emerald horny toad
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

And then I'd spend your ransom money,
But still I'd keep your sheep
I'd peel the mask you're wearing,
And then rob you of your sleep
Rob you of your sleep

I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil
