Fright Night Creep Out
02:54
|
|||
|
Middle of the night
Mysterious soundsJ
ust those fretful spectres
Ghosting around
Don't you want to know?
Don't you wanna see?
Open up the door
To another scene
It's alright
Scream and shout
It's alright
Its a fright night creep out
All the while
Were you so afraid?
Can't you see the victim
Being made?
Spirits they all want revenge
Plans and schemes to avenge
But not every corpse
Is worthy for the rise
Can't you hear the whisper on your ear?
Can't you feel the presence of something near?
You think you're ready for the fright
Think you're ready for the sight
Of someone or some thing
Just out of sight

Party by the Lake
02:52
|

|
I went down to a party down by the lake
The last stone castle in the USA
Built by a billionaire without any name
Everyone around say he's clinically insane
Got a moat around the out with gators and sharks
A drawbridge in the front with Peruvian Bark
I showed my invitation to a skully faced man
Stepped inside, saw them singing with the band
You can't kill me!
I'm already dead
Drinking bloody vampiros from a human skull
Chasing out the cobwebs in the dark dancehall
Never get older, forever young
Stuck inside a limbo having too much fun
You can't kill me!
I'm already dead
City got together at the old town hall
Passed a resolution to tear down the wall
Went to the castle with torches in hand
Found an army of the dead singing with the band
You can't kill me!
I'm already dead
If you ever get invited to a party by the lake
And you have to make a choice between the town and slain
The town will get you comfort, safety and sane
The dead will keep you dancing forever and a day
You can't kill me!
I'm already dead

Doing Time in Ol' Tucson
04:28
|
|||
|
Rattlesnakes lay unafraid
Scorpions in the silverware tray
Dillinger tried to make a stand
You gotta be tough to make it in this land
Doing time in Ol' Tucson again
Just down the road from Ol' Tombstone
Even got our own timezone
We like it dry, we like it HOT
We can carry a gun, whenever we want
Doing time in Ol' Tucson again
Coyotes roam through city streets
Looking for sweet pets to eat
Even the grass is a shade of beige
We got the "ugliest street in the USA"
Doing time in Ol' Tucson again
Doing time...
Doing time...

Not as Wicked as You
04:44
|
|||
|
There's a cold chill, over my shoulder
A blood red moon up in the sky
Things are clearer now that you're older
You live to suffer, you're born to die
Don't let it get you down
It's a wicked world it's true
But not as wicked as you
The general lied, said we were winning
Preacher went to Vegas, now we're all sinning
Vice squad was on the take, yeah
Sincere friends were sincerely fake
Don't let it get you down
It's a wicked world it's true
But not as wicked as you
The doctor smiles with millionaire teeth
His road to wealth is your disease
Politicos preach about the working class
While they pad their bags with borrowed cash
Don't let it get you down
It's a wicked world it's true
But not as wicked as you

She lights two candles for better odds
One for the devil and one for god
Got me under a spell
Take me to erotic hel
Nothing I can do
When I'm hexed
Some form of witchcraft
Breaking hearts with teasing glance
Shaking starts when she dance
She's out of control
Something eerie has taken her soul
Nothing I can do
When I'm hexed
Some form of witchcraft
Strange verse, uneasy rhyme
Love's curse, enchanted wine
One meager drink
You'll swear allegiance to a lustful snare
Nothing I can do
When I'm hexed
Some form of witchcraft

Paint it Black
03:21
|
|||
|
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I want to see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah
Songwriters: RICHARDS, KEITH / JAGGER, MICK

Killer Gnome
03:19
|
|||
|
While you sleep on threaded counts
Dreams of passing ghosts
And evening gowns
Out in the rose
With eyes that twirl
A tiny man with a plan to conquer the world
Here's another riddle
One you'll never solve
Who pretends to be so cute
Like a living doll?
Oh no!
It's not the killer gnome
Built on time, it's the new fault line
A psychic told you once how you would die
With a funny hat
And a trendy beard
Turned into a brat just as we feared
Here's another riddle
One you'll never crack
Who pretends to be your friend
Stab you in the back?
Oh no!!
It's not the killer gnome
Sunny vibes
Suburban jive
Implants for a safe and gentle ride
You've made your bed
And you broke your head
At least you're feeling something besides DREAD
Here's another riddle
One you'll never solve
Mobs of angry robots
Waiting to evolve
As the sun goes down
On this wicked town
The rain falls on the just
The brand new plan will make you frown
But i'm sure you will adjust
Oh no!!!
it's not the killer gnome
No, no, gnome
Heh heh heh hehe

Wasted

Wasted, out of my mind
Wasted, have a good time
Baby, baby, why you get so sad?
All the little things that drive you mad?
Try to think of something that will thump you less
Like living like you're living, like you're living your best
Don't waste it!!
Lately, it's out of my hands
Lately, it's driving me mad
Baby, baby, baby don't you know
Time is moving fast though it feels so slow
Remember all times you wanted to die
Now you really are and all you want is time
Don't waste it!
Try to be you!
Baby, baby it's never too late
Make your own world
Create your own fate
Don't listen to the people that will bring you down
They're all in line for their own breakdown
Don't waste it!
Try to get through...
It feels alright
it feels alright

Psycho Satanic Surf Party
by The Aquaholics
supported by 5 fans who also own “Fright Night Creep Out”
Before they became Kobanes, these Chicago Ramones-inspired poppy punkers formed this instro-surf band with a creepy, satanic theme and actually came up with twelve great, spooky instrumental surf tunes that transcend the schlock. Recorded in the Mecca of pop-punk, Sonic Iguana, by the Pope of pop-punk, Mass Giorgini ten years ago, then they broke up and none of us even knew about it until now. It's a very unlikely scenario, but hey, the devil works in mysterious ways.
