I pray to my amplifier, and the guitar is my cross
The only war I`m leading is the war of loudness
God slaves with machine-guns pimped up with stroboscopes
Your only sex is the bullet in it`s deadly hot arse
Out of nine thousand gods, only yours is the best
Along the journey to meet him, it`s just a long bloody mess.
No gods in between us, except for this lazy cat, this purring cat
Don`t be so tragic over the nights of loneliness
Bed news are the best.
Don`t wake me up when I pretend I`m dead
I`m hearing a song, `candy`
Dismiss the battle-field, get down your sick brain twist
Hurry up to catch the kids fall, till they cease to exist
Jump in the roller-coaster, step out at the Dirty Men Zoo
Take selfies of the greatest, frame the monster!
Eat something, don`t be like a junky
See the blind doctor specialized in monkey
Let him blow inside your crazy head
Kiss your wife good-bye, say hello to Ned!
No gods in between us, except for this lazy cat, this purring cat
Don`t be so tragic over the nights of loneliness
Bed news are the best.
Don`t wake me up when I pretend I`m dead
I`m hearing a song, `candy for...`
