KING BEE
Buzz off baby
Go on home
They call me king bee
I’m gonna burn your throne
I’m fucking king bee
I’m fucking king me
So just buzz off baby
Nothin’ here for you to see
I’m fucking king bee
I know you
You sure as shit don’t know me
I murdered the moon
And i drank up the sea
I know you think your queen bee
But you never met a man like me
I ain’t gonna buckle
I ain’t gonna take no dive
Let’s go toe to toe and see
Who gets out of this hive alive
Just try and hold up that scepter
Just try and hold court
But i swat and i stomp on your kind just for sport
You just walk
while I drive drive drive
Go toe to toe with me baby
And let’s see
Who gets out of this hive alive
I’m fucking king bee
I’m fucking king me
So just buzz off baby
There ain’t nothin’ more for you to see

SWITCHBLADE

Lickin’ whisky from the tip of a switchblade
Lickin blood from the tip of her finger
Puttin my brain and my body through this ringer
I’m sucking up spit from the mouth of some stranger
I’m ugly as fuck but I aint no shit kicker
I’m a get you with my pig sticker
You shit heel
You shit licker
I’m licking whiskey from the tip of a switchblade knife
I’m doing such ugly things to your wife
I set my GTO on fire she’s gonna go for the ride of her life
My teeth are nails
My heart is stone
They call me the fuckin graveyard
Cause ladies are always diggin’ for my bone
Yeah these sluts are just graverobbers
Diggin’ for my bone
I’m lickin’ whiskey from the tip of a switchblade
God was drunk when i was made
My hair is so black it sucks in all the light
I spit on a palooka just to lose a fight
I’m always prayin’ for bad bad weather
I’m a goddamn razor in black leather
I drive fast
I pray for a crash crash crash
I’m licking whiskey from the tip of a switchblade
I’m drikin blood from a broken glass
Death is just something i do for a laugh

THE BITCH I AM

The bitch i am
Kiss me clean
Fuck me dirty
Give me dirt
Make me hurt
I ain’t worth your time
I ain’t worth your mouth
I ain’t worth your slime
So just
Treat me like the bitch i am
Crush me like a spider
Bleed me like a lamb
Treat me like the bitch i am

STAY BURIED

stay buried
Stay buried and leave me the fuck alone
Got what you deserve
A bentley swerve
All frayed nerves
Rough knots
Knife wounds
Pistol shots
So you better rot
And stay buried and leave me the fuck alone
I can’t breath with you hanging around
I can’t leave with you hanging around
My dreams are bad while you’re hanging around
My screams have no sound
So quit creepin’ around
Stay buried
And leave me the fuck alone
I already burned down our home
I already pawned our wedding bands
I already washed your blood off my hands
So just stay buried
And leave me the fuck alone
I know you’re gonna have your way
I know you’re gonna rattle your chain
And slam all the doors
But i already burned down our home
Buried you deep with no headstone
So you better rot
And leave me the fuck alone
Now i know i’m gonna live the rest of my life
With your weight on my back
You’re gonna make my breath heavy
Gonna make my bones crack
But i’m gonna cure all my blues
With these cement shoes
I’m gonna sink like a stone
Then maybe you’ll stay buried
And leave me the fuck alone

NAME OF THE DEVIL
02:37

The name of the devil
The devil has blue eyes
The devil has pale skin
The devil has black teeth
Least they seem that way to me
And i got nowhere to be
So i just sleep at the devil’s feet
The devil has blue skin
The devil wears a pale dress
The devil has black eyes
The devil has sharp teeth
Least they seem that way to me
The devil wears a red wreath of smoke
The devil wears a halo of black stars
That suck in the black light of a black sun
That hangs all swollen in a black sky
But i was cast in a black die
And the devil drew a red line
And i crossed that line
And i’m gonna take what’s mine
I’m gonna taste the devil’s wine
I’m gonna taste the devil’s brine
I’m gonna gnaw the devil’s rind
I’m gonna bend the devil’s knees
I’m gonna take what’s mine
Yeah i’m gonna cross that line
And i’m gonna take what’s mine
I’m gonna dine on the fat of her greed
I’m gonna take all i want
And bury my need
And i know the devil’s name
Her goddamn name is Marie

Powder Burns
I got powder burns
I got powder burns
up and down my arms
up and down my arms
cause I got a loaded gun
and I shoot, shoot, shoot
I’m gonna take a powder
gonna take a powder (kill all the hours)
fill it up with lead and black powder
I’m gonna pull the trigger
and shoot, shoot, shoot
I got powder burns
I got powder burns
up and down my arms
up and down my arms
I got a shooting gallery
I got a shooting range
I got shooting pains
I got a gang
Yeah, I got a gang
we got powder burns
all up and down our arms
cause we all got guns
and we shoot, shoot, shoot
to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
each shot could be my last
I wait to die after each blast
