She walked in the door On a Saturday night Threw her coat on the couch And stood under the light "I know you from somewhere" Somewhere unknown "You know what I'm sayin'" She said "I don't know" You look so fine With blood on your skirt Wanna chase you 'round the table Wanna make you hurt Put the needle on my record And stood up from the chair She's an angel from the darkness With a jet black stare Thickness in the air At a quarter to ten Places my hands on her hips And she spoke again "You look like a man That I'd like to steal" Pleasures come with measures From her sex appeal Dance the night away Stood over my body With a bowie knife Smile for the camera You're paying for your crimes

Specimen One 03:22
She knows for sure I'm here I feel her move the night air Where did she go all these years? Over my bed she appears So I said "Christine, You're as beautiful as Bloodflowers in rain" So take me away Pulls the Venetian curtains Map dowsing for directions Just eyes and no words spoken Somewhere beyond the borders We move and take no orders We kill with quick precision Terrified shapes they were rigid Escape to fix what's broken Two hands on my throat chokin' Chokin' And chokin' So I said "Christine, You're as beautiful as Bloodflowers in rain" The Tetragrammaton Must be configured my son You will be specimen one

A little bit of sunshine A little bit of soul A little bit of anything Down in my hole 20,000 leagues Under the earth alone Wont stop me thinkin' bout you Down in my hole Down in my hole I love the way you shovel I love it when you're cold I love it when you're looking down Down in my hole 20,000 leagues Under the earth alone Wont stop me thinkin' bout you Down in my hole Down in my hole One of us is the killer Texas funeral One of us is broken down Down in my hole 20,000 leagues Under the earth alone Wont stop me thinkin' bout you Down in my hole Down in my hole A little bit of sunshine A little bit of soul A little bit of anything Down in my hole

You laid me down Slab of concrete Tubes in my skin Ropes on my feet Where am I? Where are we? Who is the master of thieves? I'm scared But you're beautiful The number four Sacred, I know Blood rushing out Watch as it flows Stainless steel Cold machines Run by the master of thieves I'm scared But you're beautiful How many people Have you left down here for dead? I'm delirious again Don't take me back to them You're a thief Dead to me You're a thief Steal my dreams

Flying Cars 02:51
There were flowers There were flying cars There were rocketships And passageways to Mars A little angel Inside a glowing shell Brought color to this world And kept the crimson down in hell Come on come on come on See all the people Come on come on come on Seemingly evil Guide you to the temple In the valley below In the valley below In the valley below Shut your mouth right now Said the blackest bird Place your hand in mine Wait your fucking turn Dreams in black and white All the colors burned Nothing is everything Everything's nothing And something is coming And I'll never learn Come on come on come on Laugh until you cry Come on come on come on In dreams I always die Somewhere in the temple In the valley below In the valley below In the valley below oh no Shut your mouth right now Said the blackest bird Place your hand in mine Wait your fucking turn Dreams in black and white All the colors burned Nothing is everything Everything's nothing And something is coming And I'll never learn What happened to the flying cars?

Opened my eyes at 1am Never seen a crowd that looked like them Torches up high Phalanx formation Black tooth slithering from station to station Friend of the devil Well, he's a friend of mine So follow me down this time Through the eye of the needle Ran the camels divine Wolves at the door to greet you But the wolves are running blind They're running blind Something told me that the end was near But the only known mind killer is fear Bloodshot eyes Township rebellion Fists in the air, here come the hellions Friend of the devil Well, he's a friend of mine Help me see the light Through the eye of the needle Ran the camels divine Wolves at the door to greet you But the wolves are running blind They're running blind The chains are broken Going out of my mind Let me out of here Friend of the devil Well, he's a friend of mine Help me see the light Through the eye of the needle Ran the camels divine Wolves at the door to greet you But the wolves are running blind They're running blind

Everything a little left of center Nothing yet has been quite this hard Take me to the nearest winter Can't be that far The sun is rising on the bend I wonder What lies beyond meadow line Questions that remained unanswered Will resolve in time In the western world The grass was greener on the other side But the other side was a field of thorns Now we build the towers just to brave another perfect storm Everything must happen for a reason When the reasons finally 'turn to form The silent paradise of Asphodel will finally keep us warm In the western world The sun is high and I'm smiling again This is the end.
