Two Dead Shannons

You got yourself a princess
You got yourself a queen
You shoulda seen her
Back when she was nineteen
Loved with reckless abandon
She wasn't so clean
Just a short while ago
When she was my queen
Two dead Shannons at the altar
I knew a soldier
She was torn between
The physical world
And a world unseen
Then she found a solution
She renounced the revolution
She traded me in
Became a white-face queen
Two dead Shannons at the altar
She'll carry your children
She'll take your name
Like a lifeless Lutheran
Living in shame
She'll never leave your side
Until the day you die
But you ain't leavin' this church alive
You took my future
Now you're takin' a dive!
Please don't make
The same mistake twice

Pray to the Ghost

Nobody knows you as well as I do
I'm just a ghost
And I stand beside you
Nobody sees me
I'm invisible to all except you
Nobody hears me
I'm inaudible to all except you
Kiss all your nonbelievers goodbye
If you wanna stand a chance
On the other side
Girl you gotta let go
Your secular pride
It only holds you back
In your quest for life
There's a young man
Desperate to destroy my faith
He claims I've been tryin'
To take you away
But you were mine
The moment you fell for my lies
You were blinded
The moment the light hit your eyes
So little he knows
He has not been exposed
So hard to control
Such an independent soul
But you my love
You're so full of hope
I'd have you right now
If I had enough rope
Sister scream loud!
(I'm blind
I've been misled but I'm proud)
Scream it loud!
You're blind
You've been misled but you're proud!
Bow down before me right now
Virgin angel
Don't read between the red lines
The voice of God has spoken
Two more hearts can be broken
I'm just a hoax
But don't dare defy me
Let me be the perfect escape
I am alcohol
I am THC
I am the great narcotic
In the sky

Violet vs. Scarlet
05:11
|
|
||
Violet avoids me
'Cause I choose to defy
While she'll choose to fly
Like a magpie in the sky
Scarlet, she enjoys me
Scarlet, she annoys me
She's lost without her glass
Of brainblast
Alcohol can consume ya fast
Violet, she saved me
Violet, she slayed me
She drove me up the wall
And back down again
My Jesus friend almost did me in
Scarlet, she craves me
Scarlet, she's crazy
She's beautiful yes
But I must confess
I liked her best before the drug test
Violet vs. Scarlet

Horizon
04:18

Keep your eyes on the horizon
Chase the sun as it goes down
Look beyond the world
It will confuse you and confine you
Stands between you and the horizon
Prepare for a surprise
As you collide with the sky
Your eyes on the horizon
Go deeper and wider
Go farther and higher

Eight Reels at a Time
03:47
|
|

Eight reels at a time
Rollin' around in your mind
That's how it feels
When it's time to change reels
You're asleep on company time
Eight dollars an hour
Gives you a real sense of power
Got nothin' to lose
Got a new pair o' shoes
Ya don't mess with the man
At the top of the tower
Eight children to feed
On such wages
Sure know how to breed
You got it made in the United States
You won't vote
And you can't even read

Paint your face white
Come out at night
With a crystal ball
And a cloud of black light
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Take your mom's car, go for a drive
Tear down the highway at 75
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Used to be young, used to be fine
Used to be the one
And you used to be mine
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Then the hellcats came
And took your brain
Turned you into a priest
And made you inhumane
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Sweet sixteen dyed lime green
I respected you
But you badmouthed me
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Thought you could be trusted
Thought you was a friend
But you cut me down
You backstab me again
Lucifer's child of disgrace
You're goin' astray
Gettin' carried away
Usin' four-letter words
A million times a day
Lucifer's child of disgrace
Please don't lose sight
Of your childhood dream
'Cause I couldn't go on
If you'd forgotten me
Lucifer's child of disgrace

Hypnotic Reaction
06:08
|
|

Deep thought is what it's all about
Plug me in, I wanna feel it now
Patch me into the mainline
Finally I can be free
Lost in a world of telepathy
We're on the same wavelength
Come on just give it a shot
Close your eyes
And open your thoughts
You're under hypnosis
Signalling throughout my mind
Communicating all of the time
Lay me down, it's a daydream

Yer father was a pornographic priest
Yer mother swam to him
From Puerto Rican shores
Conceived a child
Once conceived 2000 years ago
I watched it all
From my hole 2000 miles away
I can't look beyond you
Too bad no one else
Will look beyond themselves
