Stomp This Town!

Well come on pretty baby take a walk with me
I got something on my mind
Let’s get out from under this deep dark sea
I got clouds all in my eyes
And destruction on my mind
Let’s go little girl we’re gonna stomp this town tonight.
Well I’ve been feelin’ this way don’t know how long
Maybe half a million years
It’s time to shake the dust off, know what I mean?
I got a radioactive smile
I can see for miles
Let’s go, alright – we’re gonna stomp this town tonight.
They’re gonna set off the sirens
Call out the guard
But there’s nothin that they can do
To keep us from tearing the place apart.
Well let me walk you up onto the beach
With all the skyscrapers there
Maybe we could catch a plane or two or three
Well, try as they might
With all the science on their side
They won’t know nothin'
After we stomp this town tonight.

Killing Me
02:47

There’s a scar on my heart that just won’t heal
And you put it there but you don’t know how it feels
The pain remains even though you’re gone
‘Cause I never believed I could be your pawn
‘Cause you’re killing me darlin’, don’t you know,
Slowly killing me.
There’s a knife in my back, it’s twisted and dull
And your lies, they rattle around in my skull
You said that you loved me, but if that was true
Then why does it feel like you’re using voodoo
‘Cause you’re killing me darlin’, don’t you know,
Slowly killing me.
Sometimes I wake up at night in a cold, cold sweat
The way that you treat me, I wish I could forget
But I can’t help myself, can’t get you out of my head
If we can’t set this straight, soon one of us gonna be dead.
‘Cause you’re killing me darlin’, don’t you know,
Slowly killing me.

The Likes of Me
03:14
|

Trying to find my way home
Trying to keep the ground under my feet
Trying to find a place where I
Can lay my weary head down for to sleep.
But sleep don’t come easily
Sleep don’t come easily
To the likes of me.
Sleep don’t come
Sleep don’t come
To the likes of me.
Night out on the town and I
Had a million one new things to say
But something ‘long the way
Got in my blood and then my blood got in the way.
Things don’t come easily
Things don’t come easily
To the likes of me.
Things don’t come
Things don’t come
To the likes of me.
I don’t know what comes over me
It’s the most peculiar thing
Hellhound comes, the trees they scream
The full moon lights the way…
Now the night’s turned into day
The sunlight dries the blood left on my skin
I wish it all was just a dream
Hazy visions of where I have been.
Dreams don’t come easily
Dreams don’t come easily
For the likes of me.
Dreams don’t come
Dreams don’t come
For the likes of me.

Venus Flytrap
02:08
|
|||
I’m a fast fast thinker but a slow slow learner
I’m a bad bad boy with a Bunsen burner
I’m a vast vast voyager on a no-returner
I’m a mad mad maker and a monster-turner.
I was ca-ca-crazy, now I’ve gone insane-er
I made made made her, now I must maintain her
She loves her creator and now who can blame her
With my last last breath I should probably name her.
There’s a big bumble bee in the bathtub
A wasp woman in the kitchen
Tarantula’s giving a backrub
To something too weird to mention
But how can nature abhor me
In the four-poster she’s waitin’ for me
Venus Flytrap will adore me
…till I’m no more.
Like a naked belly-flop into bacon
She leaves me glistening with pleasure
And every part of me she has taken
She’ll grow it back in full measure
So how can nature abhor me
In the four-poster she’s waitin’ for me
Venus Flytrap will adore me
…till I’m no more.

Invisible Girl
04:14
|

When it rains it pours
My girl's experiment has gone off course
It's not that she won't come see me
Rather the reverse it seems
When I hold my eyes just right
I swear I can make out her outline...
She's gone invisible
She ain't nowhere to be seen
She's gone invisible now
It's gonna torment me
She told me she had a surprise
I wouldn't believe my eyes
Kept waiting to see the light
But she was standing right there all the time
But when she puts on her fancy dress
My imagination runs away with me, I confess
She's gone invisible
Right before my eyes
She's gone invisible
And I can't disguise...
My Invisible Girl
You might not know it from looking at her
But she's the most beautiful girl in the world
It's her fascination with science, you see
That's destroying all our chemistry
Now I keep on looking for her
I know she's right there, but I can't be too sure
I miss looking her in the eyes
Now she's invisible, and I just wanna cry
But when the lights go out at night
That's when I know she's outta sight
She's gone invisible
We can't go out at night
She's so invisible
She pulls her shades down tight
She's so invisible
And I can't get no relief
She's gone invisible
You gotta see to believe
My Invisible Girl

Little Liar
03:44
|
|||
She was perched on a stool in a miniskirt
I swallowed my courage and I went to work
Her fishnet stockings crossed at the thigh
She winked at me with an evil eye.
Started pulling me in with a funnel cloud
My mind screamed no but my heart was too loud
She kept me guessing for an hour or two
But not a thing that she said to me was true.
Smoke rising, flames getting higher
Little liar, my heart’s on fire
Little liar
She chewed me up and made a mess out of me
I got locked away and then I lost the key, she
Knocks me down to the ground, I take it on the chin
I hope she sharpens her blade ‘fore she twists it again.
