Hi boys and girls
So nice of you take a break from your clubbing and carousing to visit me…
Would you like to hear a story?
A scary story?
Well here goes:
Once upon a time in the spooky forest
There was a hungry beast
As the bell struck 12 every night,
it would crawl out of its slimy cave to look for food
What's it eat you ask?
Well bad boys and girls, of course
Boys that eat too much candy,
Girls who drink too much booze
Or stay up to all hours dancing and shaking their special parts
And rubbing up against other bad, bad girls
But his favorite treat of all
Is when he eats evil boys and girls
Who kiss and hug boys or girls that are not their husbands
Boys and girls who sometimes don't even know each others names!
Touching
Drinking
Dancing
Rubbing
Kissing
Grinding
Kissing!
Sucking!
It makes him so hungry
So, if you're a bad boy or girl, beware...
Because the big, scary monster hunts at midnight!

Too Ugly for Heaven

Snow is on the ground
And I listen to the sound
Of you lying out petrified
Knowing that it's time to die
I saw him
Stapled to the wall
But he didn't seem dissatisfied
So I thought I'd leave him there to die
I saw dead people going for the door
Fucked up and slow, like their feet were cement
I saw ugly freak shows, calling you a whore
I tried to stop them, but they all got away
I'm too ugly for heaven
Though I don't know why
I'm too ugly for heaven
So I won't even try
I've seen better days but I don't see them no more
Torn down and slow, dead drunk's lament
On this here hospital bed, or is it barroom floor
But alcohol IV's all dry, and I figured as much and I'm cold to the touch!
I decided I hate worlds
And that world's a girl
Three guesses who that planet is
As armageddon's moving in
I'm too ugly for heaven
Though I don't know why
I'm too ugly for heaven
So I don't even try
I'm too ugly for heaven
Though I don't know why
I'm too ugly for heaven
So I don't even try

Is it odd
That I care who you swim with
And not that you swam
Because in truth
The thought of it thrills me
The alien waters wash over you
My plan never was a cage for two
I'm just scared of the darkest depths without you
Since you've gone I've learned to stay afloat
I'm just frightened you'll again become my life boat
We had drown
In our ecstasy
You left me for dead with a pretty hello
And these waves
As I drift they might drown me
But if you embrace me you might drag us both down
You see
My plan always was a raft for two
But I'd let you sail it anywhere you want to
Now it looks as if the raft is broke
And you're bitter because I smashed all the lifeboats
Devil of the sea Devil of the sea Devil of the sea
Is tearing us away from me
Devil of the sea Devil of the Sea Devil of the sea
Would love to see us drown in me
It's not you
No you're not what scares me
It's just that your love smashed me like brains on the rocks
And your eyes
If they wanted to hold me
Could drag me down like some Lovecraftian god
You see
I just wanted you not undertow
But love's a beast with teeth in many rows
Salt like talons tearing at my throat
And I'm wishing you were here to be my lifeboat
Devil of the sea Devil of the sea Devil of the sea
Is tearing us away from me
Devil of the sea Devil of the Sea Devil of the sea
Would love to see us drown in me.
Devil of the sea Devil of the sea Devil of the sea
Is tearing us away from me
Devil of the sea Devil of the Sea Devil of the sea
Would love to see us drown in me.

Hit me with a flaming chair, I'll let you
Tie me down, rub thumbtacks in my face
Deliver me from all my fears, I betcha
They're all that I have holding me in place
I tell you there's an underground sky
Liar, liar
I told you that I'm dead inside
Why do you tell this to me?
But I when I died inside you
Fire, fire
Like a splinter in the mind's eye
Everything's fading away
Expose me to the universe, I'll let ya
The odds are good that I'll get in the way
And if you will hold me close, I'll betcha
Every fiber screams to run away
I tell you there's an underground sky
Liar, liar
I told you that I'm dead inside, yeah
Why do you tell this to me?
But I when I died inside you
Fire, fire
Like a splinter in the mind's eye
Everything's fading away
I tell you there's an underground sky
Liar, liar
I told you that I'm dead inside, yeah
Why do you tell this to me?
But I when I died inside you
Fire, fire
Like a splinter in the mind's eye
Everything's fading away
I tell you there's an underground sky
I told you that I'm dead inside
But I when I died inside you
Like a splinter in the mind's eye
Hey little girl, I don't suit you
'Cause I don't have a car or a job or a future
Don't know what you did this time
Crush a hundred years into a dime
Hey little girl, pay the price now
'Cause you brought a chainsaw into paradise now
Come in, tore my kingdom down
Never was lost 'til you were found
Liar, liar
Why do you tell this to me?
Fire, fire
Everything's fading away
Everything's fading away
Everything's fading away
Everything's fading away
Everything...

Moving through the sanitarium
Murder monkey moving to the beat of slaughter drums
Five thousand more are lining up
To take their place in the slaughter
Nine thousand in the courtyard
One big murder hard
Listen to the drums of Midian
Listen to the drums of Midian
Get up, get up to your feet now
Rise to your feet for the big knock down now
Hear the drums, hear the drums now
This is the end, the end of it all now
Get up, get up to your feet now
Rise to your feet for the big knock down now
Hear the drums, hear the drums now
This is the end, the end of it all now
Crawling through the sanitarium
Murder monkey on my back he knows just what to do
Five thousand more lining up
To take their place in the slaughter
Nine million in the courtyard
One big murder hard
Listen to the drums of Midian
Listen to the drums of Midian
Get up, get up to your feet now
Rise to your feet for the big knock down now
Hear the drums, hear the drums now
This is the end, the end of it all now
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it, my children?
Do you understand what's happening?
The funky Cthulu is comin' through
The funky Cthulu is comin' through
The funky Cthulu is comin' through
The funky Cthulu is comin' through
Do you hear the drums?
Do you hear the drums now?
Do you hear the drums?
Do you hear the drums now?
It's the end!
The end!
The end.
Do you hear the drums now?
Get up, get up to your feet now
Rise to your feet for the big knock down now
Hear the drums, hear the drums now
This is the end, the end of it all now
Get up, get up to your feet now
Rise to your feet for the big knock down now
Hear the drums, hear the drums now
This is the end, the end of it all now
