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

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 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 Horizon rider Collider

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

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 Jesus Starlight Jesus Christ in sequined silk Photographed for a magazine

Reality Now! 05:01
Your childhood dream is over It's reality now You're a superstar!
